Centre for the Study of Co-operatives' Big Plans for IYC 2012
The Centre of Co-operative Studies at the University of Saskatchewan has exciting upcoming plans to ring in the International Year of Co-operatives. The Centre’s activities will kick off on January 25, with the first in a series of seminars celebrating the achievements of co-operatives locally, nationally, and internationally. Seminars will also be held in mid-February and March, which look at fair trade coffee co-operatives in Nicaragua.
The Centre also has plans to reconfigure its co-op exhibit, Building Community: Creating Social and Economic Well-Being and bring it to communities in Saskatchewan, Ontario and Manitoba. If that wasn't enough, plans are also already underway for a major conference titled Co-operating to Build a Better West, which will take place November 1-3 at the Radisson Hotel in Saskatoon.

So far, over $2 million has been raised, but Station 20 still needs $550,000 to put shovels in the ground.
