Introducing Rooted: Stories from Alberta’s Co-op Sector

Celebrate your co-op’s story with ACCA’s new member spotlight series.

At the Alberta Community & Co-operative Association (ACCA), we know that every co-operative and credit union in Alberta has a story worth telling — stories of resilience, innovation, community, and values in action.

That’s why we’re proud to launch Rooted: Stories from Alberta’s Co-op Sector, a new member feature series that will spotlight the people, initiatives, and impact behind our province’s vibrant co-operative movement.

And here’s the best part: it’s free to participate.

Why get involved?

Each Rooted feature will be a short, 'native-style' article written in collaboration with your organization and published on ACCA’s website. We’ll also share it through our newsletter and social media channels to help boost your visibility across Alberta’s co-op and credit union community.

This is your opportunity to:

• Share your values and mission

• Celebrate a significant milestone or achievement

• Highlight an upcoming campaign or event

• Recognize the contributions of members, staff, or volunteers

• Inspire others through a challenge you’ve overcome

• Tell the story of who you are and what you do

Whether you're a small housing co-op, a large credit union, or anything in between, your story matters — and Rooted is here to help tell it.

Launching This Spring — Don’t Miss Out!

We’ll begin publishing Rooted features this spring, with limited spots available in our first round.
