The Canadian Kinesiology Alliance (CKA) is a national organization established in 1995 to promote and advance the profession of kinesiology across Canada. It aims to ensure kinesiology is recognized as a leading health profession by fostering partnerships and advocating for the field. The CKA operates under a voluntary Board of Directors and supports Provincial Kinesiology Associations in their efforts toward legislation.
The CKA provides key services including promotion and advocacy to raise awareness of kinesiology, serving as an information hub for related resources, and offering continuing education opportunities through approved courses. It represents approximately 5,000 kinesiologists across Canada and has established comprehensive standards and competencies for the profession. The CKA’s strategic plan, #KinVision2022, outlines its goals and objectives to further advance kinesiology in the country.
