Canadians Leading the Anti-Corruption Movement

Since 1996, Transparency International Canada has been Canada’s home of the anti-corruption movement. We are the Canadian chapter - one of over 100 worldwide - of Transparency International.

We define corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. This definition includes corruption in the public and private sectors, from local to international levels. It extends from petty corruption to high-level grand corruption and kleptocracy.

Join the movement to eradicate corruption and promote integrity! The best place to start is to become a member to connect with the many events and engagements run by us and our partners.
