“As a small charity, it is often difficult to be heard when policy issues or other concerns are raised in the sector. By being part of a larger group we have found support through the network of organizations associated with CCVO.” - Cassandra Dam, CAPES General Manager

“Research as an activity is, unfortunately, far too often assigned a low priority amidst the many urgent challenges facing the non-profit sector. It heartens me, therefore, to see research so explicitly articulated in your strategic priorities.” - Nilima Sonpal-Valias, Director of Research, The Vocational and Rehabilitation Research Institute

“The valuable leadership provided by CCVO during the discussions on the Lobbyist Act, the creation of the Workforce Strategy for the Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector and the development of the Community Spirit Program were very much appreciated." - The Honourable Ed Stelmach, Former Premier of Alberta
