Power the Economy: Canada’s Co-operative Advantage

Power the Economy shines a spotlight on the immense contribution of Canada’s co-operative economy. The report reveals that co-operatives, credit unions, caisses, and mutuals contribute $61.1 billion to Canada’s GDP, support 745,946 jobs, generate $12.3 billion in tax revenues, and serve more than 14 million Canadians through 6,173 organizations across the country.

Far from being a niche sector, co-operatives are a powerful economic force, delivering solutions in housing, finance, agriculture, insurance, healthcare, retail, utilities, and community services. Their impact is helping build stronger communities, a more resilient economy, and a more prosperous future for Canadians.
