Mountain Equipment Co-op was conceived by a small group of Canadian climbers who wanted a place to buy gear not carried by conventional retailers, gear for mountaineering, rock Climbing, ski touring, and hiking. In August 1971, these six initial members founded Mountain Equipment Co-op with branches in Edmonton and various other towns in Canada.
As a co-operative, Mountain Equipment Co-op exists to serve the needs of our members. Our products are built with purpose, people, and the planet in mind.
Mountain Equipment Co-op is a member-owned co-operative, governed by an elected Board of Directors. Election results are presented during the Annual General Meeting in April.
We're looking for people who share our passion for wild spaces, outdoor activities, and great gear. If you think a job should be more than a paycheque, check out our current postings in Edmonton and other branches.
At Mountain Equipment Co-op we don't want you to replace your gear every season, we want you to wear it out. Through design, field testing, and lower-impact materials, we build Mountain Equipment Co-op brand gear to last.
Having grown from 6 members to 2.6 million, Mountain Equipment Co-op is the largest retail co-operative in Canada. Discover our unique priorities and find answers to common question such as "what is a co-op?"
