Seminar participants March 18, 2017
held at Vancity Victoria Drive branch
If you want to belong to a
democratic organization that is
owned and controlled by the people
who use its services, an organization
that can successfully compete in the
marketplace without abandoning
the values and principles that set it
apart from other businesses, and an
organization that returns its profits to
the community, then you share many
of the same values and priorities as
the millions of people around the
world who are already members of
co-operatives and credit unions.
Co-operatives
and
credit
unions recognize the importance of
people and communities defining
their own needs and working together
to meet those needs. They are a
powerful and democratic way to put
decision-making into the hands of
those who need and use the services.
Co-operatives and credit unions
are directed locally and invested in
locally. Surplus profits are returned to
the members and, therefore, remain
within the community. (source: www.
