Co-operatives empower people, strengthen communities, and create jobs.
Across Alberta, co-operatives and credit unions empower communities with ownership and voice and help drive deep-rooted economic health. ACCA is the voice of the co-operative and credit union sector across Alberta.

Empowering co-operatives through the development of partnerships that establish links between and amongst organizations and key decision-makers.

Taking care of our members since 2005…
On behalf of our members and allies, ACCA works to help all levels of government and the not-yet-converted take notice of the many social and economic benefits co-operatives and credit unions bring to Alberta communities.
Through connection, education and collaboration the ACCA team strengthens existing co-operatives and supports the growth of new co-operatives.
Collectively, we work to build a strong co-operative sector across Alberta.
