About this episode

In 2016 when I was in Toronto and had just begun producing programs for Each For All, I phoned the Ontario Co-operative Association to see what was happening on the co-op scene there. That’s when I first met co-op developer Peter Cameron. He was friendly, enthusiastic and gave me some great leads that eventually became stories on our show like Urbane Cyclist Worker Coop and Zooshare Biogas Coop.

In April 2018, I was back east again and this time went to meet Peter and Executive Director Erin Morgan, at their offices in Guelph, west of Toronto.

Lead Cultivate Connect – that’s their motto. It guides the whole team in helping to promote and develop co-ops across Ontario. Have a listen.
