CCC was founded in 1985 by Joseph Blain, Clifford Ford, Dianna Fowler, Richard Haney, and Paul Hinch as directors with many others as members.
The Canadian Council for Co-parenting (CCC) is a federally chartered, non-profit organization managed by a Board of Directors. The CCC is not a charity, so individual donations are not tax-creditable, but donations from companies can receive a receipt usable for tax purposes.
The CCC has been a major influence in bringing the issues of joint custody, child-centred divorce, non-adversarial alternatives, and equality of parents to the public consciousness, to the media, and into the courts.
