The Canadian Snowbird Association (CSA; French: Association canadienne des « snowbirds ») is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to defending and improving the rights and privileges of travelling Canadians (the so-called snowbirds).
Founded in 1992, in Lakeland, Florida, the CSA was formed when one-thousand and ninety-two Canadians staged a rally opposing the reduction of payments, by several Canadian provinces, for out-of-country emergency medical care, a right enshrined in the portability section of the Canada Health Act ( Sec. 11(1)(b)(ii)).
Since its founding, the CSA has actively engaged with all levels of government in both Canada and the United States, on behalf of its membership, on an array of health-related and other issues.
Today, the Canadian Snowbird Association has approximately 110,000 members across Canada.
