ACP welcomed Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, @MarcMillerVM , to the @coachhousebooks office for an excellent conversation about books, publishing, cultural exports, and more. Thanks to the Minister and his team for joining us and to Coach House for hosting.

Canadian publishers stand with library community in opposing Bill C-15 provisions that threaten the Library Book Rate & the Literature for the Blind program. These protections are needed to ensure equitable access to books for all Canadians. Read more: https://t.co/PYH8G4xTgK

Great meeting with the Association of Canadian Publishers (@CdnPublishers), including Islander Dani MacDonald. The newly launched Certified Canadian Publishers Seal will allow shoppers to see which titles are from Canadian-owned houses, promoting 🇨🇦 writing and publishing. 📚#PEI

Many thanks as well to @LPGCanada, @ANEL_QE, and REFC for co-hosting the event. Our display featured English and French titles from coast to coast to coast, giving guests a chance to discover the full spectrum of Canadian writing & publishing.

Canadian publishers gathered on Parliament Hill last night for our annual reception & book display—an evening celebrating the strength, diversity & creativity of Canada’s publishing community. 📚 We’re so grateful to our sponsor @lesliechurch and to @mylesdavid for his support.

ACP, @LPGCanada, and @pubcouncil_ca call for the repeal of @YourAlberta's discriminatory book ban. The revised directive continues to restrict access to literature, stigmatize marginalized communities, and undermine the expertise of educators & librarians.

ACP condemns Alberta’s recent banning of "sexually explicit" books in school libraries, which disproportionately targets 2SLGBTQIA+ titles under the pretense of age-appropriateness. All students deserve to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.

ACP condemns the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling which targets LGBTQ+ children’s books like Pride Puppy! published by @orcabook. Limiting students’ exposure to stories that reflect the real diversity of society undermines the mission of public education.

ACP is very excited to be displaying our members' books at the #NAISA2025 Conference this year! Our table features some of the leading Indigenous literature by Indigenous and Canadian independent presses. 📚 A special thank you to @UBCPress for volunteering to staff the table!

ACP is honoured to announce that Margaret Bryant, former Sales Director at @orcabook, is the recipient of the 2025 President’s Award, and Kieran Leblanc, former ED of @ABbookpub has been presented with honorary lifetime membership in ACP.

The Canadian publishing industry urges thoughtful, inclusive dialogue on Alberta’s "Ensuring Age-Appropriate Books in School Libraries” initiative. The review disproportionately targets 2SLGBTQIA+ content and lacks transparency & professional input.

“A better-paid industry, with fewer low-pay jobs, especially post-pandemic” @CdnPublishers Book Industry salaries have risen since 2018, new ACP salary survey shows https://t.co/WZslQTj428

Books don’t write, edit or publish themselves. Copyright ensures creators & publishers can keep doing what they do best—bringing Canadian stories to life. We need policies that protect publishers & creators so 🇨🇦 books can thrive at home & globally. #WorldBookAndCopyrightDay
