The '''Canadian Association of Blue Cross Plans''' ('''CABCP'''; {{langx|fr|Association canadienne des Croix Bleue}}) is a [[federation]] of regional [[not-for-profit]] insurance providers in [[Canada]]. All providers that are members of CABCP, called "member plans", are independent entities which are overseen by the association to ensure consistent performance standards. The first Blue Cross Plan was offered to residents of [[Manitoba]] in 1939.<ref>[http://www.bluecross.ca/history.html Canadian Association of Blue Cross Plans &mdash; About Us]</ref> The association is headquartered in [[Etobicoke]], [[Ontario]].<ref>[http://www.bluecross.ca/regionalplans.html Canadian Association of Blue Cross Plans &mdash; Regional Plans]</ref>
