Membership
Members of the CPS are typically faculty members of Socoiology or Demography
departments in Canada, students of those departments, staff of Statistics
Canada & other government bodies. In addition, members come from
Anthropology, Econmics, Geography & other unversity departments
and the business sector. Members are eligible to vote in CPS elections,
present refereed papers to conferences,
and receive a subscription to the Canadian
Studies in Population. 
Students
CPS recognizes that the long-term strength and vitality of an organization
must have incoming members and so expressly support involvement of student
members through reduced membership fees, participation in the CPS
Council, invitation to present papers alongside career members in
conferences, and an annual award
for the best paper presented to the conference. See this area for job
postings & curriculum
vitae as well.
Publications
The CPS has two media for periodical communication. The CPS
newsletter is issued twice a year to CPS members. Non-members may
also read it online. The Canadian
Studies in Population is a refereed journal that is supported
by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and University
of Alberta (U of A) funds.
Conferences
Annually, the Canadian Population Society (CPS) meets as part of the
Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences,
that is hosted by different University campuses in Canada each year.
The conference is usually 3 days in duration in late May/early June,
features 45-50 academic paper presentations, and an Annual General Meeting.
Where possible, sessions are designed to be joint with other Societies
at the Congress and who share research interests (e.g., Geography, Economics,
Sociology, etc.). Annually, an award is given to the best
student paper. Programs and abstracts for 1996-present are available online.
