RGCA

RGCA, or the Royal Geographical Society of Canada, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the study and understanding of geography in Canada. Established in 1881, RGCA is one of the oldest and most respected geographical societies in the world. Its mission is to foster a greater appreciation of geography and its role in shaping our world, and to encourage the pursuit of geographical knowledge and skills.

RGCA offers a wide range of programs and services to its members, including conferences, workshops, and publications. The society's flagship publication is the Canadian Geographer, a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research and articles on a variety of geographical topics. RGCA also hosts an annual conference, which brings together geographers from across Canada and around the world to share their research and ideas.

In addition to its professional development programs, RGCA is committed to promoting geographical education and outreach. The society works with schools, universities, and other educational institutions to develop and deliver geographical education programs, and to support the training of future geographers. RGCA also engages with the public through a variety of outreach initiatives, including public lectures, school visits, and community events.

RGCA is governed by a board of directors, which is elected by the society's members. The board is responsible for overseeing the society's operations and ensuring that it continues to meet the needs of its members and the broader geographical community. RGCA is a member of the International Geographical Union, which brings together geographical societies from around the world to promote international cooperation and collaboration in the field of geography.
