Our Commitment
At CCUA, we aim to foster an inclusive culture where our differences are celebrated and viewed as the strength that drives our collective impact and success. Our goal is to honour and embrace our authentic stories and those of our members. At our core, we respect and appreciate diverse perspectives, and we are committed to the true meaning of cooperative values, rooted in our mission to serve our members and advance our communities.
