Summary

CHF Canada has produced a new version of their document, ‘Getting Our Co-op Principles Right’, with consultants from Freedom Dreams Co-operative Education. This resource helps to bring the co-operative principles into the everyday lives and operations of housing co-op members, boards, and staff. The new document has been written for today’s Canadian housing co-op context and demonstrates how the co-operative principles are aligned with values of justice, equity, diversity, decolonization, and inclusion (JEDDI). Come to this workshop to have a look at the new resource and learn how to use it in your co-op to foster member engagement and sustainability practices.
