BALTA Project A2 Update - Co-operative Models of Social Care

Abstract

This project is examining the role that co-operatives are playing in the provision of health and social services in Canada and internationally, and the impact of government policy, legislation, and operating procedure on the ability of co-operative models to provide these services. Two aspects of the project have specifically explored co-op elder care in Canada and enabling policy for health and social co-ops in British Columbia, Canada. This update specifies research plans for the 2008-2009 year.
