What is CABC?
The CABC was founded by a small group of farsighted people who, as early as 1983, saw the enormous business potential between Canada and the Arab world. Today, the CABC board and executive consists of senior level business professionals representing a range of sectors and expertise in Canada and in Arab states.
It also includes top rate lawyers and business people who have lived and worked in the region for many years as well as Canadians of Arab descent who have extensive business in both Canadian and Arab markets. Select former Canadian Ambassadors to the region as well as representatives of provincial and federal governments also bring their expertise to board deliberations.
What is CABC?
The Canada Arab Business Council is Canada’s only not-for-profit association focused exclusively on promoting trade and investment between Canada and the Arab world.
Since 1983, the Council has been the principal advocate for, and the driving force behind, Canada’s growing economic relations with Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa region. We also work with Arab governments to promote economic relations with Canada.

Message from the President
Dear Members and Friends,
As we approach the holy month of Ramadan, CABC extends their warmest greetings to all who observe this sacred time.
Ramadan is a time of reflection, prayer, and community for Muslims around the world. It is a month of fasting, spiritual growth, and acts of charity. During this time, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn until sunset, focusing on self-discipline, compassion, and empathy for those less fortunate.
At CABC, we recognize and respect the diversity of our members and the communities we serve. Ramadan is an important part of the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that make up our global community. As such, we embrace the opportunity to learn from and celebrate with our Muslim colleagues and friends during this special time.
As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of our professional lives, let us also take this opportunity to foster understanding, empathy, and unity.
Let us stand in solidarity with one another, recognizing the values that bind us together as fellow human beings.
On behalf of CABC, I wish all those observing Ramadan a blessed and fulfilling month. May it be a time of spiritual renewal, joyous gatherings, and meaningful connections with loved ones.
Kind Regards,
Cathy Séguin
President/Executive Director
