The principle aims of the Canadian Poetry Association are to promote the reading, writing, publishing, and preservation of poetry in Canada through the individual efforts of its members; to promote communication among poets, publishers, and the general public; to encourage leadership and participation from members, and to encourage the formation and development of autonomous local chapters. Autonomous chapters have been activein many communities throughout Canada, coast to coast from the Maritimes to British Columbia, and in such centers in between as Metropolitan Toronto and Southwestern Ontario. The
National Head Office moved from Toronto to Moncton, New Brunswick.The Canadian Poetry Association aims also to promote and encourage all forms and styles of poetry; to promote the establishment and maintenance of poetry libraries and archives in educational institutions across Canada; and through its newsletter Poemata to develop an international connection for

It organizes poetry readings and social events; publishes anthologies, chapbooks, and the national newsletter Poemata containing markets, reviews, poetry, and other information.
