The Co-op Youth Story Project is an exciting initiative of the BC Co-op Association, to commemorate 2012, The International Year of Co-ops. It is working to pair up young "detectives" with co-ops and credit unions around the province who want to promote their co-ops by having their stories told.

Co-operators and Credit Union members from across the region gathered at Kootenay Co-op Radio in Nelson, for the Canadian Launch of IYC2012, on Thursday, January 12.

While munching on a delightful breakfast provided by the Kootenay Country Store Co-op and The Kootenay Baker Cafe Co-op, participants discussed how we can build on the international excitement and initiatives of this once-in-a-generation opportunity to promote our local co-op and credit union sector.
