CWCF is thrilled to announce the 2025 winners of the Mark Goldblatt Merit Award and the Worker Co-op Best Practices Award, which will be presented at the Mixer and Award Night at our Conference in Edmonton. The Mark Goldblatt Award goes to Colin MacDougall of Sustainability Solutions Group for his leadership and contributions to the worker co-op movement, and the Best Practices Award to Multicultural Health Brokers Co-operative for its intercultural approach to participatory governance. Both awards are so well-deserved! We look forward to celebrating their accomplishments with them.
As part of the Mixer and Award Night, CWCF will also be paying tribute to Lynn Hannley, a co-operative developer and founder of the Communitas Group, who passed away this past April. She leaves behind a great legacy.
The Mixer and Award Night will take place at the Multicultural Health Brokers’ building in the evening of Wednesday, November 19th. Registration for this event is included in full Conference registration; it is also possible to register for the evening, including dinner, as a stand-alone event on the Conference registration page, at this link.
