From the Archives: Nelson Co-operatives Galore – UCCC and The Koop

This is an episode of our From the Archives series, where shows that got lost in our private archives now get their chance to shine. Because of the changing nature of time, some information may be outdated. 

On tonight’s show we travel to Nelson, in British Columbia’s Kootenay region. Nelson got its start thanks to silver mining the late 1800’s, but has reinvented itself a number of times since then. Today, it has a vibrant co-op scene, including Kootenay Co-op Radio CJLY, Kootenay Car Share, and the Kootenay Country Food Co-op

Our guests tonight come all the way from core co-operative initiatives in Nelson:

Zoe Creighton, Council Coordinator for the Upper Columbia Co-op Council, and

Prudence-Elise Breton, Executive Coordinator of the Kootenay Boundary Community Services Co-operative (The Koop).

This episode originally aired on May 26, 2015.

About the Author:

Host and senior producer Dale McGladdery began his co-op journey in 2014 when he joined the show. He came from the podcasting world to explore an interest in radio and happily discovered the world of co-ops hiding in plain sight. Dale’s day-job in the technology sector also means he’s the most likely one to be updating WordPress plugins. When he’s not working on the show you might find him playing board games, watching B-Movies, or attending live storytelling events around town.
