The Canadian Lenders Association (CLA) is made up of over 100 companies that specialize in consumer and commercial lending across the country. The CLA's main goal is to represent the interests of its members and support their growth and innovation by providing the tools and information needed to create safe and ethical lending practices.
About the Leaders in Lending Awards
