“Co-ops: The Solution Movement – Celebrating 75 Years”
AGM | CONFERENCE | TRADESHOW
“Co-ops solve problems. In our province, Co-operatives and Credit Unions have always been foundational to the success of our rural and metro areas alike. In every sector, solution-based organizations are becoming more critical than ever. Our co-op members – who today comprise a fifth of the provincial population – are part of a growing ‘solution movement’, built to sustain our diverse communities and resources.”
June 21st & 22nd, 2024 at the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland, St. John’s.

National Indigenous Peoples Day
NLFC 75 will incorporate elements to recognize and celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21st, 2024. 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.
Co-operative History
The history of co-operation in the province is an essential aspect of co-operative identity and culture. We plan on honouring the co-operative legacy in our province by displaying a traveling timeline, showcasing historical photos, objects and artwork, and sharing stories we’ve uncovered.

NL Co-op Study Clubs in the 1930s. With support from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, study clubs were created in rural areas across the province to push the co-operative movement.
Co-operative Film
What better way to articulate the past 75 years of co-operation than through film. Premiering at NLFC 75, our short film will tell the stories that helped shape the co-operative landscape of Newfoundland & Labrador.
