About the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors
The Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors is a non-profit associaton representing Canadian distributors and marketers of food and grocery related products.
The Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors is dedicated to the active promotion of its members' economic well-being in delivering the best value to consumers and serving community needs with integrity. This will be achieved through leadership in public policy initiatives, enhancement of trade relationships, business development and human resources development.
The Council, together with its members (who make up over 80% of those involved in the food distribution industry in Canada), represents a vital link in Canada's food distribution chain. Its membership includes both large and small retail and wholesale enterprises and grocery chain operators. There are also Allied Members, persons or companies which provides support services to regular members in fields such as banking, data processing, equipment procurement, marketing, research and transportation to name a few. This membership category has been recently extended to also include manufacturers, brokers, processors and importers. In 1995 the FoodService Council, a food distributors' organization, was created within the operating framework of CCGD.
The Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors works actively towards the long-term efficiency, productivity and viability of Canada's entire food distribution industry. To accomplish this objective, CCGD is involved in public policy, trade relations and member education and development. Council members have access to up-to-date technical, legislative, regulatory, educational and research information. The Council also strives to promote harmonious and productive relations between suppliers and distributors as well as with consumers and the groups who represent them.
