ABOUT OUR GROUP

Originally created by the Apparel Human Resources Council and now supported in part by the Canadian Apparel Federation (CAF), the Apparel Affinity Group (AAG) as a sub-committee of CAF serves the following mission: “… (to) provide teachers and administrators in Canadian fashion schools with a place and time to gather and work together to meet the challenges that await them, and carry out initiatives that will improve the design, production, and marketing curriculum of fashion and apparel training programs across Canada.”
Since its inauguration in 2004, the AAG annual national conference has taken place on college and university campuses across Canada, hosted by member schools, to give all AAG members the opportunity to participate. Each conference offers fashion instructors the chance to tour a thriving Canadian apparel industry destination in combination with sessions that include industry guests, colleagues, and graduates from a variety of post-secondary fashion programs offering courses in textiles, merchandising, design, marketing, and production.
