COUNCIL OF PROFESSIONAL INVESTIGATORS OF ONTARIO
As with many other organisations, the CPIO has had to adjust to remain relevant in this pandemic dominated time of lockdowns, social distancing, and economic uncertainty. We believe we have accomplished this in part by introducing a series of webinars, free to our membership, to educate, refresh and broaden the horizons of the professional investigators in Ontario. Our F.I.T. conference scheduled for April 2020 had to be cancelled, although we are currently planning a virtual F.I.T. conference for April 2021 following the success of our virtual Professional Development Day in November 2020. We are continuing our attempts to increase membership, forge relationships with affiliated industry organisations (nationally and internationally) and enhance our visibility in the marketplace. We have also rebranded our logo to a new and exciting modern look. None of this would be possible without the energy and commitment of the CPIO Board of Directors to whom I feel an enormous debt of gratitude.

Our President’s Message.
For new viewers of this site, and those who are new to the industry and/or considering employment within it, I can share that the investigation industry and its various branches is remarkable. It is a rapidly changing industry and if not engaged in associations and development, many will be left behind and become irrelevant.
As well, our field has a global presence and there are wonderful investigative leaders throughout the world. I urge you to become engaged with local, national and global associations where there is incredible networking and training. The many successful leaders in the industry have followed this path.
Thank you for visiting our site. For your investigative and training requirements across Canada, we are pleased to provide you with links to the provincial associations who can best assist you on matters of local concern, events and even employment opportunities.
