CIU, "Co-operatives are well-placed to offer Canadians a solution to uncertainty"
When times are tough - we look for stories of heroes and impact. Now is the time for co-ops to step into the spotlight and start sharing their superpowers. The Co-operative Intelligence Unit (CIU) was developed to create resources and connect co-ops to experts to plan effectively in an uncertain future and this team of experts are available to support your co-op through these unpredictable times.
