Use Google or another search engine to search for associations relevant for your industry in your location. If you don't find a relevant industry association, try broadening your geographic area (e.g. from Ontario to Canada, or from Canada to the U.S. or international). If your industry is very specialized or new, look for associations for broader or similar industries. Try searching terms like industry association, industry group, trade group, or trade organization and the name of your topic.
