ACP was delighted to celebrate our 2026 award recipients & past honourees last week. Congrats to Honorary Lifetime Members Steven Beattie & Kieran LeBlanc and President’s Award winners Jack David & Margaret Bryant. And a huge thank you to Friesens for making the event possible.

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

It’s ACP’s Spring Conference! We kicked things off the night before programming with two publisher favourites: books and booze. Huge thanks to @russellbooks and @MunrosBooks for welcoming us to browse, and to Marquis for generously sponsoring our pub night at @bardandbanker!

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

Today is World Book and Copyright Day—a moment to celebrate the stories that shape us. If you love Canadian books, now’s the time to show it. Support Canada's literary ecosystem and creative economy by choosing Canadian-published books. #WorldBookDay

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

ACP, @pubcouncil_ca, and @LPGCanada strongly condemn the proposed book restrictions in @YourAlberta’s Bill 28, which undermine the core principles of public libraries: open access to information, intellectual freedom, and trust in professional expertise. https://t.co/VQ40vbo45e

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

Canada’s publishing, writing & bookselling sectors stand with artists & cultural workers across Nova Scotia as they rally for the reversal of sweeping budget cuts to arts & culture funding, including the elimination of all funding for publishers. @nsgov https://t.co/MgLxeGsO4W

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

Canadian publishers are deeply disappointed by @nsgov's cancellation of the Publishers Assistance program. Support for local publishers has been reduced from $700,000 to $0, making NS the only province that does not invest in its own book publishers. https://t.co/fdPCCf75Qn

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

Canadian publishers condemn @YourAlberta's decision to proceed with its discriminatory book ban. The ban restricts access to literature, undermines professional expertise, and diverts public resources away from actual learning. @pubcouncil_ca @LPGCanada

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

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

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.

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

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 @CdnPublishers]

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. https://t.co/VzqvKjOYBT

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

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. https://t.co/6arGKDcIhO

[ACP @CdnPublishers]

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. https://t.co/uikt9XTMwL
