(PMAC-AMPC.CA) 26 March 2010 - The Board of Directors is pleased to announce that the Project Management Association of Canada has revised its official name to reflect Canadian French usage, rather than Parisian French usage. The new Canadian French version of the association's name is "Association de gestion de projet du Canada" and its acronym will change to PMAC-AGPC.
Updates are being made to the association's web site content and legal filings. Email addresses will currently stay with the old URL (PMAC-AMPC.ca) until the web site is moved under the new URL (PMAC-AGCP.ca).
Any questions about this change should be forwarded to the association's president (president@pmac-ampc.ca)

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
(PMAC-AMPC.CA) December 9, 2009 - The Certification Body of the Project Management Association of Canada is pleased to announce that for the very first time in history, a Canadian has received an IPMA certification in Canada.
While many Canadians have received IPMA certifications over the years, they have done so through applying through foreign project management associations (such as the Association for Project Management in the UK and the American Society for the Advancement of Project Management in the USA) or have applied directly to IPMA, since up until recently Canada did not have its own IPMA member association.
(PMAC-AMPC.CA) July 6, 2009 - Today the board of directors of the Project Management Association of Canada has formally approved the new Canadian Project Management National Competence Baseline (CPMNCB). The CPMNCB is based upon version three (v3.0) of the IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB) standard published by the International Project Management Association (IPMA).
The CPMNCB will be used as the basis for project management knowledge and competence assessments by the association, and should be read by all Canadian project managers to help them plan out their own skills and career growth. Now that this Canadian standard has been approved, the association can complete the development of questions for its upcoming IPMA Level-D certification exam to be announced later this year.
The CPMNCB will be available for free download to all Canadian project managers later this summer. For a copy of the CPMNCB, go to http://www.pmac-ampc.ca/publications
