Mailing addresses
From time to time, the Council of Canadians exchanges some donor mailing addresses with other like-minded organizations in order to reach new audiences and raise funds for important work. The exchange is managed by a bonded third-party broker, and your information is only provided to the other organization if you choose to respond to its mailing. You may opt out of having your mailing address exchanged in this manner at any time by contacting us.
Petitions and action alerts
The Council of Canadians offers tools for you to speak out on issues you care about by signing a petition or sending an e-mail to elected officials. If you choose to use one of these tools, your name and contact information will be sent to the recipients of the petition or action alert so that they can respond directly to you about your concerns.
Accountability
The Council of Canadians is an independent organization and does not accept money from corporations or governments. Our work is sustained by the volunteer energy and generous donations of people like you.
