What is CACOR?
The Canadian Association for the Club of Rome (CACOR) is a dynamic and informative association whose members discuss pertinent global topics with some of the most informed, eminent, and articulate specialists. Its mission is to foster widespread understanding of the relationship between human activities and the environment needed for long-term preservation of human civilization.
Why would you want to join?
To be part of a group who wants to bring change. CACOR is dedicated to promoting study, open discussion, and action among Canadians on Canadian and world problems.
“As a new member of this dynamic organization, I have found an alignment with my life purpose by integrating the skills of other CACOR members with my own in a challenging project with a potential for a meaningful contribution to protecting the planet. Being directly involved and watching it come to fruition is very rewarding.”
~ Yasmin Asgarali,
Deceased CACOR member
