  • The Classical Association of Canada (CAC) (French: La Société canadienne des études classiques (SCEC)) is a national, nonprofit organization with the aim of advancing the study of the civilizations of the Greek and Roman worlds in their Mediterranean context, including philology, Classical archaeology, papyrology, epigraphy, and numismatics. The CAC encourages public awareness of the contribution and importance of Classics to both education and public life. Its official languages are English and French. In 1946, the Ontario Classical Association (OCA) established Phoenix (classics journal), the first peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to Classics published in Canada. However, The costs of maintaining a journal of that magnitude quickly exceeded the resources of the OCA. In response, the organization sought to expand nationally, leading to the creation of the Classical Association of Canada in 1947. Although it was founded in Ontario, the CAC's mandate was to represent scholarly activities in Classics from all parts of Canada. (en)
