Cooperatives are everywhere
Cooperation is creativity in action!
It creates partnerships and jobs and opens a door to the world. It generates debates and questions. It is a tool of democracy. In 1900, Alphonse Desjardins became a pioneer of the Quebec cooperative movement by creating caisses populaires. Cooperation is not a new phenomenon in this part of the country!
