Four years ago, Alberta’s co-operative enterprises gathered in Red Deer to celebrate the International Year of Co-operatives and launch the blueprint for a co-operative decade. On November 20 and 21 of 2015, they will meet again at the Holiday Inn and Suites Red Deer South for the largest, co-op focused networking event in western Canada. While the event is organized and hosted by the Alberta Community and Co-operative Association, it truly belongs to co-operatives of all backgrounds and sizes from across the province.
