Thank you to all participants and presenters for making the 2009 CWCF Conference a success, and thank you to our sponsors for making it possible.  CWCF held its 2009 Conference in Moncton, NB, November 19-21.  Read more by clicking the link above, from the home page.

The Conference theme was: from Crisis to Recovery!: how worker co-ops can be part of the solution, can survive and even thrive in times of economic and environmental crisis such as the current period. The program included a live video feed from the CICOPA international WC Conference which took place simultaneously in Geneva, Switzerland. Keynote speaker was Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada, an inspiring speaker who is dedicated not only to the environment but also to the co-operative values and principles.

There were many workshops of practical use to worker co-operators: from dealing with retirement of worker-owners, to financial models, to carbon accounting -- and more!

The Worker Co-op Merit Award winner was David Daughton of PEI.  See the "Conference Program", below, for the full  agenda.  The Annual Report 2009 and 2009-10 Strategic Plan are also available below.  Presentations that are approved for circulation can be found below; others will be added as we receive them.
