Canadian capitals will make a consistent joint effort to promote and increase the political, economic and symbolic significance of the capitals in order to reflect the pride, unity, history, democratic traditions and aspirations of the people living in the provinces and territories of Canada.

Thus, the goal of the CCCO is to create links among the country's capitals. The CCCO seeks to promote a greater knowledge of Canada's heritage, culture and political development by encouraging the exploration of those cities that have become Canada's capitals. In addition, the CCCO, through its educational and other programs, works to ensure that all Canadians feel that they truly belong to this great country.
