The IAEM-Canada Council encompasses members from every Province and Territory in Canada, as well as committee representatives from numerous professions in public, private, and government entities across the country.
The IAEM-Canada Region became the first region outside the United States in 2003 under the previous IAEM structure. The IAEM-Canada Region became the IAEM-Canada Council (one of three Councils worldwide) in 2007, when the current organizational structure went into effect.
IAEM Canada’s Mission is to advance the profession by promoting the principles of emergency management; to serve its members by providing information, networking and professional development opportunities; and to advance the emergency management profession.
The IAEM-Canada president serves as the Council's representative on the IAEM-Global Board.
