Board Member Basics

Designed for new or aspiring board members, our two-part Board Member Basics workshop will help build confidence, strengthen governance skills, and encourage board participation. We break down the governance process in an engaging and accessible way, empowering members to take an active role in their co-op’s success.

ClimateCare Co-operative

ClimateCare is Canada’s largest network of independent heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems contractors spread across Ontario. They're 100% member owned, and have been that way since the co-operative formed in 1992. When you hire a ClimateCare member, you’re supporting the local  economy!

Get Involved

Co-operation among Co-operatives is a key principle that we and our members live by.

We believe that by working together and supporting one another, we can accomplish so much more than working alone. Every individual has a role to play in creating a more inclusive and equitable social economy, and there are many ways you can get involved and contribute your own unique skills, experience, and personality to help us grow the co-operative sector.

2025 marks the second time the United Nations has declared an International Year of Co-operatives, to recognize the vital role that co-operatives play in sustainable development and the social, economic, and environmental well-being of our communities across the world.
