Introducing our new

Co-op Development InfoService!

Your first point of contact for information on co-op development 

  • Thinking of starting a co-operative?
  • Wondering whether the co-op model is right for your business or organization?
  • Looking to find out what help is available in Canada?

Canada's national co-operative organizations - the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) and the Conseil canadien de la coopération et de la mutualité (CCCM) - have joined forces to launch the Co-op Development InfoService.  With a toll-free number, a dedicated email address and web pages on co-op development, the InfoService will connect you to the network of co-op development expertise available in Canada.  
 
Co-operatives are a great way to work with others to meet economic and social needs, strengthen communities and generate local employment.  They can help you achieve more than you could do alone.
 
Our new service provides anyone interested in co-operatives with an initial point of contact and some basic information to get you started.  We want you to consider the co-op model to implement your new business, service or organizational idea. 
 
There are three ways to connect:  

  • Call the InfoService toll-free number at 1-877-268-9588 and leave a message.  Someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
  • Access co-op development information on the CCA (English) or CCCM (French) websites.
  • E-mail your co-op development question to coopdev@coopscanada.coop (English) or devcoop@cccm.coop (French). 

 

The Co-op Development InfoService is funded by the Government of Canada through the Advisory Services component of the Co-operative Development Initiative (CDI).
