Ontario Association of Physics Teachers
The mission of the OAPT is to advance the teaching of physics in the secondary schools, colleges, and universities of Ontario and to promote a professional spirit and collegiality among the members of the Association.
Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP)
CAP provides a forum for physicists to meet and discuss physics, increases the visibility of Canadian Physics, and raises the profile of Canadian Physicists, in Canada and abroad, provides a united voice for physicists on the national scene and speaks out on science policy and funding issues, raises public awareness to the significance of physics for the well-being of our country and encourages young Canadians, both men and women, to study physics.
