By looking at the evolution of the CCEA committees, you can see how the focus of the Association has changed throughout the years. Especially evident is the slow weaning of the agricultural committes that took place. Listed below is a sample list of CCEA committees taken from the CCEA minute books at the City of Ottawa Archives and from an interview with Cheryl McBain, the 1997 Acting General Manager.
