Founded in 1929, The Royal Canadian Geographical Society has been making Canada better known to Canadians and to the world for 90 years. Best known for its iconic publication, Canadian Geographic is the country’s home for long form storytelling and incredible photography, bringing the beauty of Canada to 4.3M readers each month.

The Society also supports Canadian geographical expeditions and provides grants and scholarships for cutting-edge geographical research. As one of the largest programs of its kind in Canada, Canadian Geographic Education provides free geographic educational resources to more than 28,000 member educators coast-to-coast.

The Society’s vision is to help Canadians chart a successful future by fostering a greater understanding of Canada’s geography — its diverse human and physical landscapes — as well as the changes affecting its people and the environment.
