Individuals and organizations have been able to purchase CDA guidance documents either in print or PDF format from the CDA Shop for years. CDA is pleased to announce that it has made its guidance documents available online for free to members in good standing. These documents cannot be downloaded but are fully searchable and can be read online at any time.
Members and non-members can continue to purchase print or PDF versions through the CDA Shop (member and non-member pricing applies) should they wish to have a hard copy version or to be able to print pages from their PDF versions.

How to access the documents
Members in good standing should login to their profiles on the CDA website and click on this link.
If you are unable to access the link, it likely means your membership has lapsed. Please check your profile under “my participation” to see if you have an outstanding membership invoice. If you believe your membership is up-to-date and you are unable to access the members only section, please contact Saskia at management@cda.ca with any questions.
