Members that are engaged reap more of the benefits of their membership and develop a stronger connection to the Ontario co-operative community.
Annual General Meetings
The Annual General Meeting provides our membership with an opportunity to practice their democratic rights, have a voice, participate in learning and professional development opportunities, and network with like-minded individuals and co-operative organizations within the membership.
