The goal of the Canadian Culinary Federation is to unite chefs and cooks across Canada in a common dedication to professional excellence.

The Canadian Culinary Federation was founded in 1963 and incorporated in Ottawa as a non-profit association in 1972. Since its inception, the federation has enjoyed a deep and long-standing tradition as Canada's true representation of the professional chef and cook.

Membership in the Canadian Culinary Federation is available to any and all persons who actively seek and involve their career paths as a Cook Apprentice, Journeyman Cook, Professional Chef/Cook, Culinary Professional or even a Foodie.
