This Worker Co-op Summit will be an unparalleled opportunity for learning, networking, and being inspired - aimed at members of co-ops associated with CWCF and/or the three Quebec worker co-op federations: the Quebec " Reseau COOP" or Network of Worker Co-operation, as well as the Federation of Paramedic Cooperatives of Quebec and the Quebec Federation of Forestry Co-ops.
Highlights include:
- Sessions of practical interest to worker co-operators, with a focus on Governance issues in worker co-ops
- Video of Keynote Presentation by Noam Chomsky (!!!)
- Presentation by US FWC Executive Director Esteban Kelly
- Roll-out of CWCF's exciting new Strategic Plan.
Simultaneous interpretation, French and English, will be provided.
This Summit will take place on the day before the start of the Congress of Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada (CMC) (https://canada.coop/en/events/cmc-congress-2019-quebec-city), on June 18-20, also in Quebec City. We encourage people to consider attending both events.
We will seek to secure accommodations in both a nearby hotel and at a university residence. More details will follow in the near future. In the meantime, if you are interested, please mark your calendars!
