Co-operatives Secretariat

Co-operatives: Solutions to 21st Century Challenges looks at the proven success of co-operatives in bringing economic and social benefits to Canadian society, while providing a means for community development. By highlighting some successful examples of the co-operative model in action, it shows how co-operatives can meet both the economic and social needs of Canadians. Whether it's a credit union or a caisse populaire providing financial services, a housing co-operative building affordable and safe homes, or a farmer co-operative supplying, marketing or processing agricultural products, co-operatives offer real solutions to today's challenges.
