Abstract
PurposeLittle research exists on the economic impact of the co-operative sector in Canada, and changes in the sector over time.

First, the authors quantified the size of the sector for each year and then these two data points were compared to analyze the changes in this one-year period.FindingsThis paper demonstrates that co-operatives in Canada are significant to the national economy and remain stable over time.Originality/valueThis is the first time such a study has been done in Canada for the co-operative sector.
