VISION
The CFAA will be recognized nationally as the definitive resource for fire alarm related information, education, qualifications, expertise, and industry support with active chapters throughout Canada.
MISSION
To maximize the effectiveness and use of fire alarm systems in the protection of life and property in Canada.
WHY IT MATTERS
A robust fire alarm industry requires a collaborative fire safety community – including skilled technicians, innovative fire alarm systems and modern regulations, codes and standards that keep up with new technology and a changing society. Our mission and vision drive us to work for the benefit and safety of all Canadians.
Our History
The Canadian Fire Alarm Association was founded in 1973, and incorporated nationally as a Not-For-Profit Corporation on November 25th, 1977. The Association began as a manufacturers’ association. Over the years it gradually grew and developed. Much work was done by the founding members in promoting the effective use of fire alarm systems across Canada. There were also efforts to establish and influence industry standards, and to develop and deliver education programs aimed at helping installers and service technicians become competent and knowledgeable to help improve the quality, effectiveness and reliability of fire alarm systems.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
The CFAA Fire Alarm Technology Program was created over 40 years ago by fire alarm industry experts and leads to the CFAA Fire Alarm Technician registration
