About The Royal Canadian Geographical Society

Since its founding in 1929, The Royal Canadian Geographical Society has worked to impart a deeper knowledge of Canada — its people and places, its natural and cultural heritage, and its environmental, social and economic challenges.

Through its national education programs, the Society promotes and improves geographical learning in Canadian schools. Funding for university student research and expeditions helps expand knowledge of our country. A speaker series and award-winning publications educate the public on topical issues and discoveries. Canadian Geographic and géographica magazines have made the Society widely known and respected as an independent source for geographical information.

Supported by passionate volunteers across Canada, The Royal Canadian Geographical Society is one of the largest non-profit educational organizations in the country and the only one working to expand geographical knowledge.
