Each year, CMC hosts a Congress in a different province to bring together the Canadian co-operative and mutual movement to network, think about the future of the sector and have thought-provoking sessions with highly respected speakers.

For its 10th anniversary, CMC is honored to host the Canadian co-operative movement once again. This year is also very special to the Nova Scotia Co-operative Council (NSCC) who is also celebrating its 75th anniversary. CMC and NSCC are joining forces for this Congress to highlight both of these important milestones. CMC and NSCC have the privilege to host Canada’s co-operative and mutual leader from June 11th to June 13th 2024 at the Halifax Convention Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Under this year’s theme of “Navigating Change Together,” leaders of co-operatives and mutuals from Coast to Coast to Coast will attend thought-provoking plenaries as well as participate in interactive workshops and breakout sessions. These plenaries and workshops will discuss one of the three main following sub-themes:

-Taking action in a Changing Economy and Workforce.

-Leading the way in a Digital and Technological Era.

-Leveraging Innovation and Transformation to build a just and strong co-operative movement.

During these engaging three days in Halifax, attendees will learn, share and network with the sector’s top leaders and supporters in order to better understand the ongoing changes in the Canadian co-operative and mutual landscape, and learn how to adapt. This Congress will offer many opportunities to build new relationships, enjoying fabulous East Coast hospitality and so much more!
