The Ontario Co-operative Association (On Co-op) is hosting 30 local co-op roundtables throughout the province. This event is one of five roundtables happening in the Greater Toronto Area.

The roundtables are an opportunity for co-op leaders, staff, volunteers and enthusiasts to meet one another, gain a better awareness of the variety of co-ops in each region, and begin considering how we might best work together for mutual benefit – sharing information, ideas, knowledge, expertise; possibly planning joint projects or programs; and making the co-op alternative more widely known in our region.

The ideas generated at these meetings will help shape the agendas of six regional conferences to be held early in the new year – with one being planned for Toronto.

Please join us for this informal two-hour meeting and sharing session!

If this time or location is not convenient, please use the link below for information on the other four roundtables being held in the Toronto region, or contact us at gta@ontario.coop.

To continue building on the momentum and the success the Ontario Co-operative Association (On Co-op) have had over the past two years with their Regional Conference and Roundtables, they are increasing their efforts to engage more individuals and organizations in these unique learning and networking opportunities. More importantly, instead of you going to one provincial conference, On Co-op will be coming to you!

Under their "Co-op Outreach" banner, On Co-op will be travelling across the province with a series of 6 Conferences and 30 Roundtables, with the goal of fostering:

• Local co-op clusters/networks
• Community collaboration
• Capacity-building
• Co-op development

The Ontario Co-operative Association, with sponsorship by PenFinancial Credit Union, is hosting the fourth of five roundtable events on Friday, October 17th beginning at 8:30am (doors open at 8am). The goal of this roundtable event is to explore the Blueprint for a Cooperative Decade, in an effort to better understand our own contributions, as well as the possible outcomes of the movement. This session will offer your co-op practical tools to take back and implement with the goal to enhance the success of the Blueprint. This workshop will be led by a member of the On Co-op team.

This event is also an opportunity to meet other co-operative leaders, share information about your co-operative and explore where co-operative activities may support the growth and success of all Niagara's co-operatives.

On Co-op will also be collecting suggested training needs for an upcoming regional conference tentatively scheduled for February 2015.

Come out and enjoy a light lunch and fabulous company as we continue On Co-op's roundtable series!
