Join us on Friday October 24th at 7pm for an interactive educational on Profunc, the states’s secretive program of surveillance and planned detention of Communists in post-war Canada.

This educational will be held in-person at the Centre for Socialist Education (706 Clark Drive) and online via zoom. Please email cpcbcorganizer@gmail.com for the zoom link.

“PROFUNC, an acronym for ‘prominent functionaries of the communist party’ was a top secret Government of Canada project to identify and observe suspected Canadian communists and crypto-communists during the height of the Cold War.

In operation from 1950 to 1983, the goal of the program was to allow for quick internment of known and suspected communist sympathizers in the event of war with the Soviet Union or its allies.”
