Media

Canada's co-operative sector welcomes media inquiries about the International Year of Co-operatives, the co-operative business model and co-operatives in Canada and around the world.

Canada's 8,500 co-operatives all have stories to tell, and we would be happy to facilitate contacts and arrange interviews for you. There will also be many events taking place during the International Year that will be open to the media.
