DO WE KNOW HOW TO REACH YOU?
- About two times a month, On Co-op sends an e-newsletter to more than 5500+ people in its subscriber database.
- Two times a year, On Co-op mails a packet of information to more than 5200 people in its print mail database.
- If you're not sure that you are part of On Co-op's mailing list - or if your address or key staff has changed - please send your contact information, email address and/or postal address to Mark Ventry so we can update our records.
- Information on the province's co-operatives is available online at www.coopsontario.com. The 'e-directory' includes the name, address, website, map location and basic description of each of the 1300+ co-ops in Ontario. The e-directory receives dozens of hits daily, and is used by co-ops to find other co-ops in their area, public policy makers, academics and students and the general public.
Please check your listing now to see if it is correct, as the information is only updated when individual co-ops send in corrections. The e-directory is maintained by On Co-op - not the government or sector regulators. Each listing on the e-directory includes an 'update' link, which makes it simple to request changes or additions to the information.
