Today, I had a brief chat with Jeremy Murphy, a current member of the board at Sustainability Solutions Group, to learn more about doing professional services as a worker cooperative. The community of cooperatives involves a lot more collaboration and support than I had originally imagined.
- BC Co-operative Association
- Innovation Science Economic Development Canada
-
Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada (where I started looking)
- Canadian Co-operative Research Network
- Canada Business
Notes
- Choose between provincial and federal incorporation as a co-operative
- Find at least two other people to begin incorporation process
- Find external professional services to support operations
- Start speaking with financial organizations early
- Attend some BCCA gatherings to find more ideas
- Monitor the BCCA newsletter
- Learn from Canadian Workers Co-op Federation courses
- Read BCCA's Cultivating Co-ops development workbook
(still organizing some other thoughts)
Additional Federal Resources
Additional Provincial Resources
- Buy print copies of the BC Cooperative Association Act and Regulations
