We’re kicking off the Co-op Connection Tour by joining an inspiring in-person workshop hosted by the University of Alberta. Join academic researchers, practitioners, and co-op champions on May 20 for a day of ideas, insights, and connections that will spark the future of Alberta’s co-operative sector.

We’re excited to announce the theme for the 2025 Alberta Co-operative Conference: Next is Now – Together, We Build. As we plan this year’s event, we’re inviting you to help shape the sessions, speakers, and training opportunities. Your input will help build a conference that reflects the innovation, leadership, and impact of Alberta’s co-op sector.

ACCA’s Annual General Meeting is your chance to connect with fellow co-operators, reflect on the past year’s accomplishments, and help shape the future of Alberta’s co-operative movement. Whether you're passionate about community impact, innovation, or co-operative growth, your voice matters.

If you're an ACCA member, you'll also have the opportunity to vote on important matters—so don’t miss out!

The partnership between ACCESS, Econo Coop, and the Alberta Community and Co-operative Association (ACCA) is creating new opportunities for cooperatives and community organizations to collaborate, save money, and amplify their local impact

This event brings together academic researchers, co-op practitioners, and community leaders to foster meaningful dialogue and knowledge exchange on the challenges and opportunities facing co-operatives today.

A thriving co-operative sector is built through connection, collaboration, and collective action—values at the heart of the Legacy Builder Campaign. Bringing people together, amplifying co-op success, and ensuring a vibrant future for our sector and the communities in which we live, work, and play.

As we enter 2025, ACCA remains dedicated to strengthening Alberta’s co-operative sector through collaboration and advocacy. By building strong relationships and supporting our members, we continue to evolve and drive sustainable growth, ensuring a thriving future for co-operatives in Alberta and beyond.

Whether you participated 1 year ago or 20 years ago, if you can take a few minutes of your day to participate in this survey, we would be most appreciative.
