Who We Are

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.

Our GOALS

are to represent with devotion, promote with passion, educate with inspiration, and develop with pride.

Representation

We present a united voice for the co-op sector and represent the collective interests of our members through interactions with other co-op organizations, federal and provincial governments, and external developmental agencies.

Promotion

We promote the co-op model at every opportunity, as a sustainable and community-minded approach to a better future, using our member co-ops and credit unions as the prime example of how co-operative thinking is already a major contributor to the economic and social development of our communities.

Education

We offer educational opportunities and learning sessions not only to our members, but also to government, businesses, and the public. Topics we educate on include, but are not limited to, the benefits of being members of co-ops and credit unions and the important role they play in the community development process.

Development

We support the growth of existing co-ops and credit unions, while aiding and guiding groups interested in pursuing the development of new co-ops.
