Association members share the common goal of promoting broad-based employee ownership in Canadian companies. When employees have “skin-in-the-game” and apply “ownership thinking”, the proven results are higher profitability and workplace satisfaction. The association provides expertise that advocates and educates on behalf of its members and stakeholders.

2025 CONFÉRENCE CANADIENNE SUR LES ENTREPRISES DÉTENUES PAR LES EMPLOYÉS

This conference is for anyone interested or involved in employee ownership as an effective tool for business growth and exit planning. We’re anticipating an influential cross-sector participant group including business owners and CEOs of small and medium sized privately-held companies, employee-owners, and professional advisors.

If you’re interested in learning about strategies to boost your employee ownership culture or if you’d like to learn how it can help you grow or exit your business, this is the conference to attend. The Employee Ownership Conference will feature insights from some of Canada’s leading employee owned companies, as well as advisors and experts who can answer all your employee ownership questions.

The ESOP Association of Canada has changed its name to

EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP CanadA.

The name has been changed to be more inclusive and align more clearly with our mission:

We support and advocate for all forms of Employee Ownership.

This is particularly important as we welcome a new form of Employee Ownership to Canada in 2024: EOTs, or Employee Ownership Trusts.
