Launched in fall 2025 by ACCA, Business Not As Usual (BNAU) introduces students and young adults across Canada to co-operative ownership—a business model built around shared ownership, democratic decision-making and putting people first. Through real stories, learning opportunities and connections with co-operative leaders, BNAU helps the next generation explore how their values can shape the way they work, build businesses and own their future.
