Exploring Applications of the Nova Scotia Co-op Development System in B.C. and Alberta

Abstract

This research proposal outlines planned research examining how to strengthen the co-operative development systems in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. It builds upon earlier research of the BC-Alberta Social Economy Research Alliance (BALTA) that examined the recent history of successful innovation and development in the co-operative sector in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, that has been unparalleled in other parts of Anglophone Canada.
