Formosan Association for Public Affairs Canada
The Formosan Association for Public Affairs Canada (FAPA Canada) is a non-profit organization based in Toronto. FAPA Canada aims to promote the sovereignty of Taiwan in Canada and across the world. The current president of FAPA Canada is Dr. Harry Chen.
FAPA Canada was established originally as a chapter of the United States Formosan Association for Public Affairs in 1984, but was transformed into an independent organization in 1993. FAPA Canada takes an active role in cultivating a good relationship with the Parliament of Canada; encouraging Canada-Taiwan political, economical, and cultural exchanges; and informing politicians and policy makers about the aspirations of the Taiwanese people.
Recent activities of FAPA Canada include letter writing campaigns to Canadian Members of Parliament and press releases supporting Taiwan's sovereignty in the international arena. It has also succeeded in publishing letters to the editor in several Canadian newspapers.[citation needed]
