As we gather together, we ask all attendees to help create a conference environment grounded in co-operative values: respect, inclusion, equity, collaboration, and care for one another.
This event is a space for open dialogue, shared learning, and diverse perspectives. We encourage everyone to listen with curiosity, engage with kindness, and contribute in ways that make others feel welcomed and valued.
Whether in sessions, networking events, or informal conversations, let’s lead with empathy, professionalism, and a spirit of community. Together, we can create an experience that reflects the best of the co-operative movement — one where everyone belongs and everyone has the opportunity to participate fully.
We recognize the enduring presence, knowledge, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples in this region and across Turtle Island. As we gather, we commit to listening, learning, and fostering relationships grounded in respect, reciprocity, and reconciliation.
Local Tip: On Saturday morning make time to check out the Boyce Farmers Market – just a 7
minute walk from the Convention Center at 665 George St. It opens at 7am!
