Newfoundland-Labrador Federation of Co-operatives acknowledges with respect that we gather on the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, whose culture is lost and cannot be recovered. We acknowledge that the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland), where our office is located, is the unceded traditional territory of the Beothuk and Mi’kmaq, and we acknowledge Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu of Nitassinan, the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, and the Inuit of NunatuKavut. As a co-operative entity, we recognize that the spirit and principles of co-operation have been nurtured and practiced by First Peoples since time immemorial, and we commit to upholding the aims of truth, reconciliation, and decolonization in the work we do.
We thank First Light NL for the use of aspects of their land acknowledgement.
Newfoundland & Labrador is home to an array of co-operatives ranging from grocery stores and markets to business solutions groups and activism collectives. Our credit unions span the province and provide unparalleled financial services from Labrador City in Labrador all the way to Bay Bulls on the Avalon Peninsula. As the unifying voice for co-operatives, we pride ourselves on our dedication to working together with our existing co-operatives and credit unions to further the development of the co-operative movement in our province.
We proudly represent the co-operatives and credit unions of Newfoundland & Labrador. Our MISSION is to promote the co-operative business model while supporting the growth and development of the overall sector. Our VISION is to create a common table around which our members can work together to address their collective needs.
