Our Story
Strengthening Alberta’s Co-op Future
Since 2005, the Alberta Community & Co-operative Association (ACCA) has been working on behalf of Alberta’s co-operatives—connecting, supporting, and championing the sector to ensure co-ops have the knowledge, networks, and opportunities to thrive.
As a member-driven association, we bring together co-ops, credit unions, and community leaders to strengthen the collective voice of the co-operative movement. Through advocacy, collaboration, and shared resources, we help co-ops build capacity, drive innovation, and amplify their impact across Alberta’s economy.
What We Do
Champion Co-operatives: We elevate the role of co-ops in Alberta’s economy, ensuring their contributions to business, community, and sustainability are recognized.
Connect the Sector: We create opportunities for co-ops, credit unions, and community leaders to collaborate, learn, and grow stronger together.
Support Growth & Innovation: We connect co-ops with the expertise, resources, and networks they need to launch, grow, and navigate an evolving business landscape.
