Created by the advertising industry in 1957, ASC was founded on the belief that advertising self-regulation best serves the interests of the industry and the public. This principle has continued to guide ASC’s work and activities for close to 50 years.

As the advertising industry, national, not-for-profit, self-regulatory body, ASC is committed to ensuring the integrity and viability of advertising in Canada through responsible industry self-regulation.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about ASC and the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards (Code) — Canada’s principal instrument of advertising self-regulation.
