BCCA is hitting the road!

To celebrate the International Year of Cooperatives, we’re launching the Co-operatives Build a Better World: BC Tour 2025 — a province-wide journey to connect communities through workshops, networking events, film screenings, and discussions. The goal is to strengthen and elevate BC’s cooperative ecosystem at a time when local economies need the co-op model more than ever.

Where are we going?

The tour spans five key regions across BC—Metro Vancouver & Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island & Gulf Islands, Thompson-Okanagan, Kootenay Rockies, and Northern BC & Cariboo—uniting communities through workshops, networking events, film screenings, and discussions to strengthen and raise awareness of BC’s co-operative ecosystem. It highlights co-operatives as a model for local resilience and sustainable growth.

FINDING Inspiration

A feature of the tour is The Power of Local: Community Solutions to Our Global Crisis, an inspiring documentary showcasing co-operatives and organizations worldwide dedicated to building fairer, healthier, and more sustainable communities. Screenings at each tour stop will spark engaging dialogue and innovation.
