The viability of any retail business is grounded in managing the numbers.
Retail Council of Canada works with retail audit, taxation, operations and finance professionals and policymakers to help establish industry benchmarks and best practices. Our members also enjoy unique opportunities to network and collaborate with industry colleagues.

Tariffs and Trade
RCC advocates for agreements and requirements that are clear and fair for both retailers and consumers.
