FOR CONSUMERS IN CANADA

Join the Consumers Council Public Interest Network
A network of Canadian residents who share their thoughts and knowledge with the Council about consumer public policy issues, usually through confidential online questionnaires.
The Consumers Council of Canada
is committed to good governance, excellence in research and listening to consumers. Its consultative, fact-based approach provides the foundation for its engagement of consumer issues through consumer representation.
The Council works to improve consumers’ ability to navigate marketplaces affecting everyday life.
Have a consumer
experience to share?
Help us learn from your marketplace experiences, problems and complaints. We’ll protect your privacy. We don’t act for individuals. But sharing can help you think and will bring you knowledge. You’ll help us help all consumers.
