Co-op Census Update

"It's fantastic that you're doing this work." "We felt isolated before talking to you. Thank you for doing this." On Co-op is hearing comments like these as we talk to Ontario's 1900 co-operatives, caisses populaires and credit unions as part of the first-ever census of Ontario co-operatives. The census will provide valuable information on the economic impact, social importance and organizational challenges faced by our co-ops.

Thank you to all the organizations which have already completed their census. Every co-op and credit union that does business in Ontario is encouraged to participate so that we can accurately portray the strength of the sector to government, funders and others.
