DRI CANADA Profile

Protecting YOUR Business is Important to Us.

DRI Canada is a non-profit organization that provides internationally recognized education and certification to business continuity, disaster recovery and emergency management professionals in Canada. These professionals empower Canadian organizations, communities and businesses to be resilient and better prepared for any emergency or disaster.


For many years, DRI CANADA (DRIC) and DRI International (DRII) have trained and certified professionals in business continuity management (BCM). Our certified professionals have helped hundreds of Canadian organizations to recover effectively from disruptive events. This training and certification has also launched and sustained thousands of successful and rewarding careers. While DRIC training and certification involves an investment of time, effort and money, organizations and individuals stand to profit in both the short- and long-term by capitalizing on its value. Today, hundreds of Canadian organizations insist that their resources rely on DRIC's high caliber training.

By developing a base of common knowledge for the continuity management profession and certifying qualified individuals, DRI encourages credibility and professionalism in the field.
