What we Do

The Canadian Communication Systems Alliance (CCSA) represents more than 100 Independent companies providing bundled internet, TV & telephone services to hundreds of thousands of Canadians in communities generally outside urban markets, from coast to coast to coast.  

CCSA Members include community cooperatives, family businesses, municipalities and companies owned by Indigenous Peoples. They work and invest in their communities and their relationship to their community isn’t just business – they live there.

At CCSA, we work to ensure our members can compete effectively in today’s communications industry by helping them be efficient, informed, flexible and proactive. We do that by helping to control their video programming and other costs, keeping them informed of changes in the industry, and ensuring government and regulatory stakeholders receive the right messages about their businesses and their issues at the right time.
