About Us

Our association was founded in 2011 by a number of firms and individuals involved in the exempt market securities industry, who saw a need for a collective voice to preserve the flexibility and unique culture of the Western Canadian capital markets and the exempt market in general. While we are located in Western Canada, our collective members include multiple Ontario based firms who also feel the need to be part of an active voice on our industry's behalf. Through our members, we have first hand insight and knowledge of the operation and corresponding needs of the exempt market in Canada.

Our mandate is to be active in the growth of the exempt market's public profile and the improvement of its reputation. We look forward to helping further develop a practical regulatory framework that fosters development of the exempt market by allowing entrepreneurs to efficiently raise capital and investors to participate in a broader range of investment options while being adequately protected.
