The Canadian Authors Association was founded in 1921 and is Canada's oldest association for writers and authors.[1]
The founding organizers included John Murray Gibbon, Bernard Keble Sandwell, Stephen Leacock, and Dr. Pelham Edgar.[2] The association founded the Governor General's Awards in 1937, Canada's highest literary award. It offers the Canadian Authors Association Awards to authors who are Canadian born authors or permanent residents.[1]
