Credit unions have a long history rooted in community, equity, and sustainability—values that sit at the very heart of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the Government of Canada opens engagement for the 2030 Agenda and prepares its upcoming Voluntary National Review, we have a unique opportunity to demonstrate the distinct power of co-operative finance on a national stage. 

Whether your credit union is helping make housing more affordable, financing local green initiatives, or advancing financial inclusion, your work is actively advancing Canada's progress on the SDGs. Submitting your stories to the federal engagement process ensures that national policymakers see credit unions as essential partners in building a sustainable, inclusive economy. 

CCUA is collecting credit union stories that help showcase how credit unions are driving meaningful community impact across Canada. If you have an SDG story to share, please submit them to me at bomidiji@ccua.com by Wednesday, November 18, 2026, or reach out to me with any questions
