Celebrating the International Year of Co-operatives? Help is here!

The United Nations is launching the much anticipated International Year of Co-operatives. Canada's co-operatives will be making the most of this historic year. How will you and your co-op mark the occasion? This issue of International Dispatch brings you three ways to fast track your preparations for the coming celebration. 

1. Check out www.Canada2012.coop, a timely one-stop-shop for all things IYC related. This dynamic new website comes to you courtesy of CCA, CCCM and the Co-operatives Secretariat to help you make the most of this historic year.  

2. While looking through the site, be sure to subscribe to 2012 Matters, a monthly e-newsletter about IYC news and events happening in your region, in Canada and around the world. The International Co-operative Alliance holds its own official launch of the International Year of Co-operatives on November 14 in Cancun, Mexico. Watch the CCA website for details.
