Overview

DDA Canada is a not-for-profit professional association that fosters the growth of the decorating and design industry. Formerly the Canadian Decorators' Association (CDECA), we've been focused on advancing our industry for over 20 years through: Educational tools & training - Throughout the year, we organize industry events and training sessions to help our members expand their skill set. In addition to in-person events, we also produce live online events and recorded sessions so that everyone can easily access our great sessions. Networking events - Because decorators and designers are often sole proprietors, connecting with peers is immensely important. We offer networking opportunities on a regional and national scale. All members are also eligible to participate in DDA leadership positions as well. Group benefits - Members enjoy a number of cost and time-saving benefits, including group insurance and discounted event entry fees. See the membership benefits chart for details. Advocacy & policy - We advocate for decorating and design excellence by providing industry information, maintaining advanced educational standards and requirements; and ethics in business practices.
