That’s why the theme of Co-op Week 2013 is A Better Way. From October 13-19, co-operators across the country will be highlighting the many ways in which co-operatives make things better, both here in Canada and around the world. In French, the theme will be Coopérer pour un monde meilleur (Co-operating for a better world).
The theme was chosen by a national committee of co-operative communicators from across Canada, chaired by CCA and the Conseil canadien de la coopération et de la mutualité (CCCM).
International Credit Union Day (ICU Day) has been celebrated on the third Thursday of October since 1948. The day is recognized to reflect upon the credit union movement's history and to promote its achievements. It is a day to honor those who have dedicated their lives to the movement, recognize the hard work of those working in the credit union industry and show members our appreciation.
The ultimate goal is to raise awareness about the great work that credit unions are doing around the world and give members the opportunity to get more involved. Credit unions and associations throughout the world celebrate the day with open houses, contests, picnics and parades.
World Council of Credit Unions has provided its members with ICU Day materials for over 30 years. Check back here for this year's materials as we get closer to the day!
World Council no longer distributes posters. Promotional materials, logo and other ideas to help celebrate International Credit Union Day will soon be available.
This month: Best of Bridgeland!
What happened when a group of local residents interested in community and local business connected with their Community Social Worker, Community Association, and local businesses about an idea to celebrate both? Last month in Bridgeland, the end result was a fantastic street festival that involved over 30 local businesses and hundreds of residents, celebrating their community and businesses. Furthermore, due to the recent flood we will hear from and about the Bridgeland businesses that responded immediately and generously to needs in their community.
