We are excited to invite you to our inaugural co-op breakfast session!

This is an opportunity for people who are interested in, or are already involved in starting a co-operative to get together, share their stories and learn. Staff from the Alberta Community and Co-operative Association will also be on hand to provide information about co-ops. 
 

This breakfast session will also give us a chance to discuss how to support more co-op development in Calgary. 
We will be mixing up a mess of pancakes (flap-jacks, thick crepes, hot cakes, flour and egg latkes), we invite you to bring a breakfast side (bacon, turkey bacon, back bacon, Canadian bacon, maple bacon, or fruit).
