Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP) (French: Centre canadien de protection de l'enfance) is a registered charitable organization dedicated to the personal safety of all children. Their goal is to reduce child victimization by providing programs and services to the Canadian public. The organization is supported by the Government of Canada, the Manitoba Government, the Government of New Brunswick and the Yukon Government.

In April 1985, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection was established as Child Find Manitoba, following the disappearance and murder of Candace Derksen in November 30, 1984.[1]

In September 2002, the Cybertip.ca was launched as a two-year pilot project.[2] In May 2004, it was recognized as Internet hotline by the Canadian Government, and it was officially launched on January 2005. In May 2006, the organization was renamed the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. In May 2011, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection launched MissingKids.ca.
