We love co-op week, for obvious reasons – but also because it’s a great opportunity to get together and celebrate the diversity and potential of co-ops and credit unions across this province. There are plenty of events happening throughout the week that you can take part in to learn more about the sector (and have fun at the same time!) Here’s what the BCCA team will be up to, and we welcome you to join us at any of these events:

Thursday, October 18th

Stop by CCEC on 2248 Commercial Drive from 10am-12pm where we’ll be helping flip flapjacks in honour of International Credit Union Day – come on by to have your fill!

Thursday, October 18th

The BCCA will be hosting a special evening co-op cafe as a part of the Co-op Week celebrations. Come to Red Truck Brewery from 5:30-8:30 pm for a beer while connecting with local co-operators and getting your burning co-op questions/ideas discussed. Please RSVP with our Community Administrator, Maggie Miland.

Friday, October 19th

The Upper Columbia Cooperative Council will be screening A Silent Transformation as a part of Co-op Week!

This film about the transformative power of the co-op model will be shown Oct. 19 in Nelson at The Front Room 600-901 Front St.

Come for some socializing at 6:30 pm with the movie starting at 7 pm, followed by a panel discussion.

These events are a great opportunity to connect with co-operators in a series of fun, casual settings, while also supporting your local co-op and credit union sector. We hope you can join in the festivities and be sure to check out what other Co-op Week events are happening in your area!
