CanREA and its members are engaged with all levels of government in Canada advocating for stronger energy efficiency and renewable energy policies. In May 2010 we co-hosted a dialogue among a wide variety of Canadian stakeholders on a national energy efficiency strategy and published the results in August 2010 along with 5 model efficiency programs. A similar dialogue on national renewable energy policy is planned for 2011. We continue to advocate that Canada join the International Renewable Energy Agency and play a larger in international cooperation on renewable energy.

- The Canadian Solar Industries Association was formed in 1978 to serve the interests of Canada's solar thermal industry, and was known as the CSIA. The Canadian Photovoltaic Industries Association (CPIA) was formed in 1989 to represent the interests of the new PV industry. Due to cutbacks of financial support from the federal government in the early 1990s the two associations, with common goals and utilizing the same energy source as the basis of their technologies, joined together in 1992 to promote the professional and practical use of solar technologies in Canada. CSIA merged with CPIA in 1992, and the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA) has existed in this form since then.
