The Canadian Press (CP) or La Presse Canadienne (French: PC) is Canada's largest national news agency based in Toronto , Ontario . It employs over 250 permanent employees as well as numerous freelance journalists. The agency was founded in 1917 with the aim of allowing daily newspapers in Canada to exchange their news. The agency has been a non-profit association of several newspaper publishers since it was founded. In mid-2010, plans were announced to transform the agency into an independent private company.
On November 26, 2010, the shareholders, Torstar Corporation , The Globe and Mail and Square Victoria Communications Group , announced that they had regrouped the agency into Canadian Press Enterprises Inc. and transferred operations to it.
