Officially official
We are now incorporated as a ‘community service not-for-profit co-operative’ which means we are an official legal entity under the BC Cooperative Association Act.
Co-operatives can take many shapes and forms, but they all share a few traits:
- organizations that exist to serve the common needs of their members (and often, the community at large).
- democratic in that each member gets one vote.
- community driven
