Trans-Canada Advertising Agency Network

Last updated

The Trans-Canada Advertising Agency Network, or T-CAAN, is an association of 28 independent Canadian advertising agencies. The oldest and largest agency network in the country, it was founded in 1963 by seven member organizations. [1]

Contents

T-CAAN-member agencies assist each other when specific client needs arise. T-CAAN also serves as a forum for member agencies to share ideas and best practices. It has close ties with similar groups in the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Jamaica, Europe and Hong Kong. [2]

Membership

To join T-CAAN, an advertising agency must be sponsored by a current member agency and elected by the membership at-large based on their “experience, expertise, security, integrity and community service.” [3] Membership also has a regional basis, with all provinces and territories and most major Canadian cities represented in T-CAAN.

The MacTier Subdivision is a major rail line in Ontario, Canada, which is owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Kansas City. The line stretches 126.9 mi (204.2 km) from Toronto in the south to MacTier in northern Muskoka. The MacTier Subdivision is the easternmost section of CPKC's present-day transcontinental route and is the railway's only connection between its eastern and western holdings which is fully within Canada. The route is single-track in its entirety and hosts only freight rail service. Between 1955 and 1978 the MacTier Subdivision hosted CPR's premier transcontinental passenger train, the Canadian, from Toronto to Vancouver. Operation of the Canadian was transferred to Via Rail in 1978, which switched over to CNR's Newmarket Subdivision, rejoining the former CPR route at Parry Sound, 23 mi (37 km) north of MacTier.
