Our 60th anniversary video
Welcome!
A 2007 study by the University of British Columbia concluded the co-operative sector in Nova Scotia was "the most inventive in English Canada."
We couldn't agree more.
As the umbrella organization representing more than 297 co-operative businesses and credit unions in the province, we're constantly helping groups and individuals take a shared passion and turn it into business - one that not only helps them to help themselves, but to grow the economy too.
And we've been pretty successful. Our members have $5.1 billion in assets, employ 7000 workers and provide safe affordable housing for 6000 people. One in three Nova Scotians is a member of a co-op or a credit union.
This year the council is marking our 60th anniversary and invite you to explore our site to learn about the history of the movement, the services we offer and the initiatives we promote.
Who knows? You may have an idea we can help you with.
