The Canadian Association of Geographers (CAG; French: L'Association canadienne des géographes) is an educational and scientific society in Canada aimed at advancing the understanding of, study of, and importance of geography and related fields. CAG publishes the quarterly peer-reviewed journal The Canadian Geographer.
The association was founded on May 30, 1951, at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, with James Wreford Watson as the organization's first president. The first national meeting of CAG members took place in 1952 at the Université Laval in Quebec City. CAG's 1996 national meeting was held in Saskatoon as a joint meeting with the Geomorphological Research Group of the Canadian Federation of Earth Sciences.[1]
As of 2016[update], the CAG society has over 1,000 members including academics, public and private sector workers, and students.[2] Its offices are at the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics, University of Ottawa.[3]
