About the Canadian Public Relations Society Vancouver Island Chapter

The Vancouver Island Chapter of the Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS-VI) represents a vibrant and growing community of public relations professionals located in Victoria and the Island. Our membership comprises active National and retired practitioners, students, and affiliates, whose professional or volunteer employment relates to the field of public relations.

Our local membership includes public relations consultants and practitioners in government, private industry, health, retail, arts and tourism. We support our members through a variety of activities including providing assistance for members who want to achieve the respected professional accreditation APR designation. We host a series of networking events and professional development opportunities from September through May of each year and work in partnership with our local universities by developing and instructing certificate and graduate certificate programs in the field of public relations.

CPRS-VI is part of a Canadian network of societies representing public relations practitioners who are committed to ethical practice by maintaining the spirit and ideals of a code of conduct, and who consider these essential to the practice of public relations.

Part of the value of National membership in CPRS is the very real benefits that come from networking, at local and national events, from our growing national awards program, the respected accreditation process, our resource library, the College of Fellows program, and access to a member only section of our local and national websites.

One especially exciting development is our participation in Global Alliance, an organization created to promote and represent national associations for public relations and communications. Over 60 countries are Global Alliance members including Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, the United States, India and New Zealand.

Our members-only section features our quarterly newsletter and other chapter information. If you have questions about CPRS-VI, please contact one of our Board Chairs.
