Why Join the ICCC?

The ICCC has two tiers of membership:

1. Members: Canada-based companies are eligible for membership if they hold any WTO, CETA, CUSMA and/or CPTPP cheese TRQ. Members can stand for election to join the Council of Directors, which governs the ICCC.

2. Associate Members: Companies based outside of Canada that have an interest in the cheese import business in Canada are eligible for associate membership.

​

Members and Associate Members enjoy several benefits as part of their yearly ICCC membership. These include:

1. Public affairs and government relations advocacy: The ICCC engages key decision-makers in Ottawa and abroad on behalf of Members and Associate Members through advocacy meetings, participation in government consultations and media outreach to ensure its voice is heard.

2. Monitoring: The ICCC provides reporting and analysis on key events of relevance through frequent updates and quarterly meetings.

3. Quarterly meetings: The ICCC organizes three Members and Associate Members’ meetings per year (Winter, Spring and Fall), during which it provides trade updates as well as a review of its recent activities.
