Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada
CMC is proud to represent the co-operative and mutualist movement nationally. Become one of our members and obtain resources, research and representation of your interest with the federal entities.
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.

CMC and Government Relations
As a part of its purpose, CMC regularly advocates for the co-operative and mutual sector at the federal level to ensure the ecosystem’s voice is being heard. Furthermore, CMC monitors federal government activities, funding announcements and emerging issues. It also regularly meets with Members of Parliament, Senators, political staff, departmental officials, and other public policy leaders to discuss sector priorities and to raise awareness on opportunities and concerns. CMC also works with its Members and partners to keep them informed and engaged.
