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.
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.

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.
