Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada

The voice of co-operatives and mutuals in 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.

Beginning October 11, Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada will officially become Canada Co-operative Business Association, with the public-facing name Canada Co-op. 

While our name and visual identity are changing, our purpose remains the same: representing and championing Canada’s co-operatives, credit unions, caisses, and mutuals. 

Our new identity reflects the organizations we serve and our commitment to helping build a stronger, more visible co-operative economy across Canada. 

Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks as we share additional details about our new brand and identity.
