Since 1989, the CSSPE has mounted annual conferences at the meetings of the Learned Societies. Reflecting its inter-disciplinary nature and membership, many of these conferences have been co-sponsored with other groups, associations, and institutions. These include the Queen's Cross-Faculty Ethics Forum, the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association, the Canadian Federation for the Humanities, the Canadian Philosophical Association, the Ethics Practitioners’ Association of Canada, the International Society for Environmental Ethics, the Canadian Theological Association, the Westminster Institute for Ethics and Human Values and others. Topics for these conferences have included "Ecology and Animals," "Feminist Approaches to Applied Ethics," "Endangered Earth: Visions and Strategies," "Ethical Issues of the 90's," "Native Land Claims and Land Use Development," "Teaching Practical Ethics," "Justice and the Canadian Health Care System," "Issues in Bioethics," "Issues in Business and Professional Ethics" and "Sustainability and Distributive Justice."

The CSSPE publishes its newsletter two times a year. We encourage members to send in any articles, book announcements, job opportunities, conference notices, case studies or other information which pertains to the subject of practical ethics.

The deadlines for submitting contributions are as follows:

Spring Issue - March 31

Fall Issue - July 31
