This workshop provides practical support, research‑based insights, and pathways to help equity‑denied groups thrive in the co‑op movement.\nPresenters\nDr. Julia Fursova, Project Lead, University of New Brunswick \nJuliet ‘Kego Ume-Onyido, Community Advisor, CWCF Equity Advisor, Whole Women Network\nEmma Shaikh, Community Advisor, Durham Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre \nSee presenters’ bios here.\nRegister Now!\nSave your spot by registering via EVENTBRITE\nHosted by the Canadian Worker Co‑op Federation in partnership with the University of New Brunswick.\n \n
