About MCA
Mission
To enhance and support the development of a united, growing and influential cooperative community in Manitoba.
Vision
Cooperatives are leaders in building a strong economy and a healthy, socially vibrant Manitoba.
MCA brings Manitoba co-ops together in an effort to build a strong co-op community. Our members are diverse and represent approximately 125 individual co-ops in various cooperative sectors.
Membership benefits include the opportunity to engage with other cooperative leaders and have input into matters that are relevant to the co-op community. As a member of MCA, you are entitled to appoint up to 2 people to MCA’s board of directors.
Membership is open to Manitoba cooperatives and like minded organizations who can reasonably use the services of MCA and support our objectives.
Membership dues vary depending on the size of the organization. If your co-op is interested in learning more about membership in the Manitoba Cooperative Association, please contact MCA for more information.
