Canadian Worker Co-op Federation

The Canadian Worker Co-operative Federation is a national, bilingual grassroots membership organization of and for worker co-operatives, related types of co-operatives (multi-stakeholder co-ops and worker-shareholder co-ops), and organizations that support the growth and development of worker co-operatives.

At the CWCF, our vision is…

To be a growing, cohesive network of democratically controlled worker co-ops that provide a high quality of worklife, and support the development of healthy, just and sustainable local economies, based on co-operative values and principles.

Our mission is…

  • To work in solidarity with our members to achieve our Vision of a Co-operative Economy;
  • To support the development of new worker co-ops;
  • To strengthen the Federation, to animate the worker co-operative movement; and
  • To represent and promote the Canadian worker co-op movement in Canada and internationally.
