ADR Institute of Canada

The ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC), is a non-profit organization that offers alternative dispute resolution services to its members and the public across the country. It is one of the leading authorities on ADR in Canada, offering highly respected professional designations for both mediation and arbitration, with plans for a mediation and arbitration (Med-Arb) designation in the works.[1][2] ADRIC has also created an established set of ADR rules and codes,[3][4] outlining the principles by which its affiliated ADR practitioners commit themselves to following.
