Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada (CMC) has developed a free Advocacy Guide to support individuals and organizations in engaging and connecting with elected officials and public servants following the April 28th election and to further your advocacy efforts. The guide is especially useful for those new to public affairs or without dedicated advocacy resources. It offers practical tools to help ring awareness to the co-op and mutual movement and work toward shared goals.

International Year of Co-operatives

CMC intends to make the most of 2025, with its four different strategies which will drive its activities in the next year. CMC will leverage this very special occasion by: 

• Enabling Canadian Co-operatives to Create a Better World by Ensuring Government Policies and Other Frameworks Acknowledge and Support Them,

• Increasing Awareness of the Co-operative Model and Sector,

• Showcasing How Canadian Co-operatives are Creating a Better World,

• Enabling the Canadian Co-operative Movement’s Innovation and World-Changing Potential by Serving as a Convener and a Knowledge Hub.
