Join the discussion on Tuesday, November 18th at noon on zoom when we will explore opportunities for formal education on cooperatives.

We will hear from Sara Penner, Director of the Research Centre on Cooperative Enterprises at the University of Winnipeg; Erin Hancock, Program Manager with the International Centre for Co-operative Management at Saint Mary’s University; and, Marc-André Pigeon, Director of the Canadian Centre for the Study of Co-operatives at the University of Saskatchewan.

Co-op Camp Challenge
Co-op camps across Canada are raising money through the Co-op Camp Challenge. This is an opportunity for you to make a donation and receive a charitable tax receipt in support of Co-op Camp!
For many people, their experience at Co-op Camp was their first introduction to cooperatives. These co-op camp programs are essential for introducing and engaging young people in the Canadian cooperative landscape. Please consider making a donation and supporting our co-op camps across Canada.
