COCo Note

You’re invited to COCo’s 2018 Annual General Meeting!

COCo’s 2018 AGM will take place on Tuesday, April 3rd.

This year, our AGM is themed As far as the Eye Can Sea- a marine and maritime theme to celebrate the launch of our year- long research projet on diversity in the community sector, Diversité d’Abord! Every year, our AGM is an opportunity for community groups to come together, connect, and reflect. As always, we’ll be doing it with a dose of fun– in this case, in the company of Pirates, marines, fish, and who knows, maybe some merpeople! Register Here.

Now’s the Time to Become a Member of COCo!

As we are in the month leading up to our Annual General Meeting, we always want to make sure our community- organizations or individuals- knows that they can become a member of COCo.

Becoming a member of COCo is a way to participate in the democratic functioning of our organization, as well as a way for you to demonstrate your commitment to our mission. As a refresher, COCo is a provincial non-profit that works to nurture an inclusive, social-justice oriented Quebec community sector where grassroots organizations can thrive, because we believe that is an important part of creating a more just and equitable society overall. We also use research and other sector development initiatives to steward dialogue and progress on issues of inclusion and diversity in the Quebec non-profit sector.

Both organizations and Individuals can become members of COCo.
