This interview with the president of the US National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA) provides some great context on the history and current situation of the American co-operative sector.
Its great to hear co-ops talked about as the stable economic drivers that they are, no matter where they exist. Hazen’s mention that co-ops are about “people working together to solve their local problems” hits on the value of the model, especially in bad economic times.
Hazen’s discussion about the NCBA’s push to change investment legislation to allow tax deductible investment in co-operatives and other local enterprises reflects On Co-op’s work to establish a Community Tax System. This would put co-ops on a level playing field with other forms of business enterprise, much like in Manitoba, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.
The Hazen interview was part of an hour-long discussion about co-ops in the US and included interviews with representatives from a large agricultural and a large retail co-operative. For all of the interviews, visit the Business Matters website.
These interviews raise important questions for those of us working to promote the co-op model here in Ontario:
How can we increase our positive media coverage and let more people know about the value of this business model that is local, stable and sustainable?
Who is willing, ready and able to take up the entirely achievable challenge of getting our MPPs to commit to real and substantial change for the co-op sector and all Ontarians?

Co-op Riding Lists
Posted on: July 21, 2009
As you may have noticed, I’ve begun posting lists of co-ops by riding. Over the next few months I’m going to post listings for all 107 ridings in Ontario.
These lists have been compiled for Members of Provincial Parliament to help them better understand the scope of co-operative activity in their ridings. They were distributed electronically and in hardcopy in December 2008 as part of On Co-op’s ongoing MPP outreach and education.
As a supporter for the co-op sector, you can use these lists to find out more about co-ops in your riding and as source for finding fellow advocates to assist your own MPP outreach plans.
Keep checking back to see who’s co-operating in your riding !

Interns after an exciting trip to the Guelph Campus Co-op.
In partnership with Service Canada – Career Skills, On Co-op facilitates the
Co-operative Internship Experience Program (CIEP). CIEP is a wage-subsidized employment and skill-building program. It provides host organizations within Ontario’s co-operative sector with Interns, while building the skills and knowledge of a new generation of leaders.
A highlight of the program is a three-day workshop that builds knowledge of the co-op sector among interns and helps establish lasting professional and personal connections.
This year’s workshop included trips to Planet Bean Coffee and Roastery run by the Sumac Worker’s Co-op, AgEnergy, and the Guelph Campus Co-op.
Keep an eye out for intern posts highlighting the organizations they work for and the work they do.
Here is a great story on how the co-op model can play a vital role in building the local food movement in Ontario. When people get the chance to choose where their food comes from they are increasingly choosing local options. Supporting local food co-operatives keeps money, jobs, food and futures in the community.
