Robert Cantin believes in preserving Canada's heritage. He therefore founded the Association des Familles Cantin d'Amérique du Nord, a genealogical organization that allows people to learn about their family history and culture. As a researcher, he has written a number of pieces that he has provided to the Naval Museum of Québec in order to create a commemorative volume that includes the names of all Canadian sailors who died in service between 1910 and 2010. Robert Cantin also created a radio program that plays big band music for the community.
