Publications - The Co-operative Advantage
THE 2009 CO-OP ADVANTAGE MAGAZINE SHOULD BE IN YOUR HANDS NOW. Most co-ops in Ontario, plus co-op sector affilates and others in Canada and beyond should have received their copy of the 2009 Co-op Advantage magazine.
At 36 pages, the 2009 issue is the largest ever, with more articles and features than before, and more than 75 co-operatives referenced in the index.
The publication presents co-ops as a viable model for business, communities and public services, and celebrates the successes, durability and diversity of Ontario's co-operative sectors.

- An electronic version (4 MB) may be downloaded in PDF format at no charge using the FastLinks at right beginning in October 2009. - Update - the document is currently too large to be placed on the website for download. Please request an e-copy by e-mail.
The 2006 Co-op Advantage was awarded first prize in the category of 'Improved Publication' by the Co-operative Communicators Association. The judges commented that the new design, a full-colour, 48-page, bilingual magazine, is much easier to handle and is '... a nice blend of information and entertainment.' In 2006 and 2007, the Advantage was published in both English and French.
Most co-ops in the province receive at least one copy. To ensure your organization receives its copy by mail, or to purchase additional copies for distribution to members, staff/board or potential co-op supporters, please contact or 519.763.8271. Cost is $3.00 per copy.
