Head to the program page where workshop details are posted as they become available.

Co-operative Management Conference (CMC): Workshops and events available only to co-op staff and management.

Member Education Forum (MEF): Workshops and events designed for co-op members. Co-op staff and managers may also attend these workshops.

It is recommended that each person register themselves individually. However, if you are registering more than one person from your co-op, you will need to register each of them separately.

When you complete the first registration, you will see a button to “Register another” participant.

If, at a later date, you would like to register more members from your co-op or organization, you can do so. The system will recognize your history when the next person is registered.

If you are registering someone else besides yourself, please answer all questions as accurately as possible on their behalf. Ideally individuals would register themselves.

Each participant registered from your co-op or organization must have a unique email address.

We encourage you to select your workshops when you register to ensure you get your top picks. You can choose them at a later date, but as they fill up quickly, you may lose access to your top choices.

Reach out to registration@chfcanada.coop for a link to access your registration.

Each year we collect donations to support an organization that is local to the area where the Annual Meeting is being held.

This year's charity is The Shelters. Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc., founded in 1982, has grown from a single co-ed shelter into multiple shelters and transitional housing units, supporting over 12,000 people on their path toward stability and housing. With compassionate, skilled staff, the organization provides hope and practical support, helping individuals rebuild their lives one person at a time. More information: https://www.theshelters.ca/about-us/

If your co-op is a voting member of CHF Canada, you must first register a Delegate before you can register additional attendees in other registration types.

If you are unable to select the Delegate or Alternate option, it means someone from your co-op or organization may have already registered in that role (limit of one Delegate and Alternate per co-op or organization).

The deadline for changing your registration or aspects of your registration by email or phone is May 20. After this date, all changes will have to be made on site at the Conference Services at the Fredericton Convention Center.
