Co-operatives are...
Co-op Week 2009, which will take place on October 11-17, will take a somewhat different approach from previous years. Rather than focusing on a single theme, the week's activities will provide an opportunity to reflect on the advantages of co-operatives and credit unions in today's uncertain - and often challenging - economic environment. Co-op Week 2009 will offer up a challenge to co-operators and to all Canadians: take time during the week to think about - and talk about - what makes co-operatives and credit unions different from traditional businesses and services.
To begin this conversation, three Co-op Week posters, available in English and French and illustrated with silhouettes of people rooted in their communities, will reflect three of the advantages that co-operatives bring to Canada's economy:
- Co-operatives are...putting people first
- Co-operatives are...creating sustainable jobs
- Co-operatives are...investing in communities
In addition, International Credit Union Day, Thursday, October 15, will have its own distinctive theme, "Your Money, Your Choice, Your Credit Union".
For more information, contact Donna Balkan, CCA Communications Manager.
