The Conversion to Co-operatives Project (Co-opConvert) aims to better understand business conversion to co-operatives (BCCs) as outlets for saving jobs, addressing business succession needs, and creating new co-ops across Canada. It does so by creating knowledge, building capacity, and enhancing sustainable cross-sectoral networks that should be of interest to the co-operative movement, policymakers, retiring business owners, unions, local communities, and all working people in Canada and internationally. Ultimately, the Co-opConvert Project aspires to grasp more fully the BCC model in Canada and to explore how BCCs could be more compelling for Canadian business owners, workers, policymakers, and communities.
