The most pressing problems facing society are not moral, but institutional. When people are enabled to work together toward a common goal, they can change the world

Our research supports the building of policies, practices, and organizations that enable communities to create their own rules and meet their own needs.

2024 marked the 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Centre for the Study of Co-operatives 

We are grateful to have an opportunity to celebrate our first 40 years and toast to the future of interdisciplinary, collaborative, co-operative research, education, training, and engagement.
