RMA Trade was founded on the idea of group buying power and has partnered with government associations to increase volumes, thereby decreasing costs for members. Canoe Procurement Group of Canada is now responsible for offering and managing the RMA Trade program for members. Members are still able to purchase at will, with no minimum purchasing requirements, and receive membership benefits.
Canoe is one of Canada’s largest group procurement organizations built for the public sector. Canoe supports over 6,000 public and not-for-profit organizations across Canada by offering choice and flexibility, simplifying procurement, and providing access to competitively awarded, trade-compliant supplier contracts.
Current Canoe members include municipalities and local governments, Indigenous communities, school divisions, libraries, non-profits, hospitals, airports, and other public sector entities.
Becoming a Canoe member is easy. Visit the Become a Member page on the Canoe website to review eligibility and submit the membership inquiry form. A Canoe representative will contact you directly to guide you through the next steps.
