Celebrating the International Year of Co-operatives?
Help is here...
The United Nations is launching the much anticipated International Year of Co-operatives in New York City today. 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.
Order copies of Celebrating the International Year of Co-operatives, CCA's brand new fcolour calendar featuring photographs from CCA's international development work and inspiring quotes from such well-known figures as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Agnes MacPhail and co-winner of this year's Pulitzer Peace Prize Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. It's beautiful and it's free (order while supplies last).
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.
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.
