The Co-op Ventures Worker Co-operative is federally-incorporated with offices in three Prairie provinces. Together, and individually, they offer a wide range of development and project management services. Some services are for training and co-op development. Others are initiatives and collaborations to strengthen and grow the Canadian co-op movement. Their approach is to leave all skills and knowledge in the community they serve.
