Resilience in Action: Building the Future of Co-operative Housing
Practical Tools. Shared Strength. Lasting Impact.

 

In a time of rapid change and growing need, NACHA member co-ops are stepping up with resilience and purpose. This year’s AGM and Spring Education Event is all about action — from launching a new land trust to unveiling a fully revised bylaw template designed to simplify governance and resolve conflict.

As we celebrate the International Year of Co-operatives (IYC), we honour the ways co-ops build a better world: through democratic leadership, collective problem-solving, and a strong sense of community.Together, we’re laying stronger foundations and shaping the future of co-operative housing — one bold step at a time.

Spring Education Workshop Highlight
By-laws That Work: Building Stronger Co-ops Together

This year, we’re doing things a little differently — and we think you’ll like it! We’re focusing on one in-depth workshop to give members the tools they need to strengthen governance and reduce legal risk.

The newly updated Bylaw Template, developed with legal experts at Miller Thomson LLP, aligns with recent changes to the Alberta Co-operatives Act and addresses key issues such as:

Get ahead of common conflicts and save your co-op time and legal fees!

Special Spanish-Language Session
Following the first break during the afternoon workshop, we’ll host a 45-minute session in Spanish for Spanish-speaking co-ops. This is a chance to review the bylaw renewal process and follow up on the February 22 IYC session.

Special Session for Non-Federal Co-ops
Let’s Connect, Share, and Build Support — Together

Not every co-op fits the traditional mold — and we see you. Inn Roads, Cameron Avenue, ArtsHub, and Assiniboia, we are talking to you!

There are a handful of co-ops in the city that have never had a federal agreement, don’t receive subsidies, and aren’t working with a third-party regulator. While your models may be unique, you may be facing common challenges — and it’s time we talk about them.

NACHA wants to better understand how we can support you.
But first, let’s start by connecting.

Join us for a 45-minute sharing and networking session following the first afternoon break, designed just for you. Meet others navigating similar territory, share your experiences, and help us begin a conversation about what meaningful support could look like for your co-op.

We’re here to listen — and to learn.
Let’s explore new ways to move forward together.

We hope you’ll join us!

Fees

We encourage you to send several members — the more voices at the table, the stronger your co-op becomes!
