The Chemical Institute of Canada is a Canadian professional umbrella organization for researchers and professionals in the field of chemistry. It was founded in 1921 as the Canadian Institute of Chemistry until it merged with other groups in 1945 under its current name. The organization comprises two groups: the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering (est. 1966) and the Canadian Society for Chemistry (est. 1985). The Canadian Society for Chemical Technology (est. 1973) was formerly a third subsidiary organization, but a structural reorganization of the CIC in 2022 renamed this group as the Technologists & Technicians subject division of the Canadian Society for Chemistry.
