Arctic Co-Operatives Limited aids locally owned business services and co-operatives in Arctic communities.

Arctic Co-Operatives Limited aids locally owned business services and co-operatives in Arctic communities. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, businesses were formed and became one of the first locally owned and operated businesses in the Arctic. Local entrepreneurs wanted to keep the profits within communities as well as providing local services and employment. While initially fur harvesting, commercial fishing, and other local activities, the co-operatives expanded to various enterprises including retail, real estate, and tourism. As businesses became more complex, other co-operatives emerged to help meet economic goals. The Canadian Arctic Producers and the Canadian Arctic Co-Operative Federation, founded in the 1960s and 1972 respectively, were the first of these large co-operatives. Both organizations merged in 1981 to create the Arctic Co-Operatives Limited, which provides aid to locally owned businesses.
