The Muskoka Community Co-operative is an organization that has been working with local agencies, organizations and communities for nearly 15 years.  We would like to thank our members and funders, as well as the Ontario Co-operative Association and the Canadian Co-operative Association, for their dedication and support.

                                    So, you may be asking yourself – what is a community co-operative…

In a nutshell, a community co-operative is a multi-purpose, co-operative umbrella designed to meet the diverse social, economic and environmental needs of communities and/or community stakeholders groups. The community co-op model provides an inclusive, democratic structure that can call community meetings, identify local needs, advocate for themselves, create local solutions, and where needed; provide an incorporated structure that can partner with agencies, organizations and political bodies, as well as apply for funding, where appropriate.
