| Retail Council of Canada | ||
| Founded in 1963, Retail Council of Canada is the Voice of Retail. RCC is a not-for-profit association representing more than 40,000 stores of all retail formats, including independent merchants, regional and national mass and specialty chains, and online merchants. We speak for an industry that touches the daily lives of Canadians in every corner of the country — by providing jobs; consumer value; world-class product selection; and the colour, sizzle and entertainment of the marketplace. Canadian retailers take pride in their industry and the contribution it makes to the country's well-being. And whenever the opportunity presents itself, RCC is there promoting retail as a career; as a portal to the world of work; as an economic driver; and as a barometer of consumer tastes and confidence.

But that's not to downplay their key link and impact on the Canadian economy. In Canada, wholesaling is a multi-billion-dollar industry. In 2004, wholesalers did about $450 billion worth of business. Between 1997 and 2004, wholesale revenues rose by 42%. ( http://www.statcan.ca/english/research/11-621-MIE/11-621-MIE2005026.htm ) | ||
