About CPAS

Who We Are 

The Canadian Pediatric Anesthesia Society (CPAS) / Société d’anesthésie Pédiatrique Canadienne (SAPC) is the organization that represents pediatric anesthesiologists in Canada.

CPAS interacts with the broader Canadian Anesthesia community through its role as the Pediatric Section of the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society. Incorporated in 2004, CPAS had its roots in a series of anesthesia meetings initially held in Atlantic Canada.

Once every two years, CPAS hosts a free-standing pediatric anesthesia meeting with content aimed at specialty pediatric anesthetic practice.
