The Canadian Interactive Digital Software Association (CIDSA) was formed in May 1994 to provide a voice for the rapidly expanding interactive software industry. The association includes major Canadian video game manufacturers, software developers, distributors and retailers.
The mandate of the Canadian Interactive Digital Software Association is to gain public confidence and support through self-regulation, and by providing accurate information about interactive products.
The CIDSA promotes Canadian software development by lobbying for favourable tax and regulatory treatment; by providing information on video software guidelines set by the U.S.-based Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB); and by encouraging members to submit all new products for ESRB ratings.
