CO-OPS AND

Workshops

Whatever challenge you are facing, whatever your education needs, we have a workshop for you!

All of our workshops are now offered through the Centre for Co-operative Learning.

Member feedback: “CHF BC workshops are an invaluable tool for new and seasoned board members alike. There is always more to learn and ways to grow and develop as a leader and as a good co-op member.”


Education Events

We offer regularly scheduled education conferences in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

Get inspired by the success of others, learn from the challenges they face, and share your experiences with the housing co-op community.

Most conferences also offer the opportunity to meet our Group Buying partners and others who can offer value to your CHF BC membership.

Member feedback: “It is so good to benefit from the collective knowledge instead of muddling through on our own.”

Consultation Services

Our team of highly skilled and experienced consultants can work with your housing co-op to:

  • Chair a meeting at your co-op
  • Offer board coaching and action planning
  • Help deal with conflicts
  • Work with your full membership to develop a mission and vision for your housing co-op

Member feedback: “Our meetings used to last for hours but never really got anywhere. With a CHF BC chair-person we get through the entire agenda in reasonable time – her pleasant, calm and objective presence is a huge benefit to us!”
