Better Business. Stronger Communities.
Latest News
Co-operatives, credit unions, caisses and mutuals are one of Canada’s most significant economic success stories.
Across the country, more than 14 million Canadians are members of a co-operative, and the sector contributes $61.1 billion in GDP, supports nearly 746,000 jobs, and operates in every province and territory. These businesses are active in housing, finance, food, insurance, energy, retail, healthcare, and countless other sectors Canadians rely on every day.
Canada Co-op is the national voice of Canada’s co-operatives. We work to strengthen the sector, raise public awareness, and champion policies that help co‑operatives grow and thrive.
The co-operative advantage is simple: ownership stays closer to communities, decisions are made in the interests of members, and value is reinvested where it is created. The result is businesses that are trusted, resilient, locally rooted, and built for the long term.
Whether you’re looking to join a co-operative, start one, partner with one, or learn how co‑operatives are helping tackle Canada’s biggest challenges, we’re here to help you discover the co-operative advantage.
