News and Events - Current news and political issues relating to Airsoft in Canada.

Member registration - Allows all ages of airsofters to register as CAPA members.

CAPA's Political Agenda

Once running and receiving some resemblance of support from the Canadian Airsoft community, it is CAPA's goal to help persuade local, regional, and federal government to create policies to help entrench Airsoft as a legal and recognized recreational activity in Canada.
