Building Community Exhibit Opens at Diefenbaker Canada Centre in Saskatoon

Co-operatives, credit unions, and other community-based enterprises help keep communities alive and vibrant. This exhibition encourages visitors to imagine what is possible in their communities and illustrates how to make those dreams become a reality.

Titled "Building Community: Creating Social and Economic Well-Being," the exhibition is based on research results from a large project titled "Linking, Learning, Leveraging: Social Enterprises, Knowledgeable Economies, and Sustainable Communities" based at the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives in Saskatoon. It's part of a national project investigating how social economy enterprises help build more respectful relationships within communities, with the environment, and among stakeholders. Our particular node covers Northern Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The exhibition is a collaborative initiative between the University of Saskatchewan's Centre for the Study of Co-operatives and the Diefenbaker Canada Centre. Read More (PDF)
