Co-op housing federations and associations across the country are recruiting and training new housing co-op educators.

Being a housing co-op educator is flexible work that offers great rewards for those passionate about supporting secure housing in healthy, vibrant co-operative communities.

One of autumn highlights is the Fall Education Conference.

Taking place on October 14, 20923, this year’s conference is focused on helping housing co-ops and their members navigate their future landscape of their home and community.

The National Education Committee released a Request for Proposals for a project on equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

This work has emerged as a priority. The goal is to support the co-op housing sector in implementing best EDI practices in co-op communities.

Co-op housing sector organizations across Canada have always had close working relationships.

Our latest collaborative venture is a National Education Committee that is steering a project funded by the Community Housing Transformation Centre: Co-operative Housing Sector Education Transformation (CHSET).  The purpose is to bring together our education community to share our work, make us stronger, and provide better, more relevant and accessible education initiatives across the country.
