Welcome to “Building Community: Creating Social and Economic Well-Being,” a virtual exhibit of stories, research outcomes, illustrations, videos, and artifacts prepared by the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives and the Diefenbaker Canada Centre at the University of Saskatchewan.

The exhibit is divided into an introduction and conclusion and four modules that examine the topics of:

• Building Sustainable Communities
• Building Engaged Communities
• Building Enterprising Communities
• Building Inclusive Communities

Use the navigation bar on the left-hand side of the screen to explore examples of how communities in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northern Ontario are using co-operatives and other social economy organizations to help improve their own social and economic well-being.
