The Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS) is a professional society for practitioners of public relations in Canada. Established at a meeting in Montreal in 1948, it subsequently amalgamated with the Public Relations Association of Ontario.[3][4]
In 1961 the CPRS co-sponsored, with the Public Relations Society of America, the Third World Congress in Public Relations, which was held in Montreal.[1]
