Seth Leon - Alberta Community and Co-Operative
Seth Leon has original roots in Nova Scotia and Quebec. He currently works for the Alberta Community and Co-operative Association. His focus is on supporting communities to form opportunity development co-operatives that finance community owned businesses. He is also trying to get a handle on a handful of other co-op projects related to worker-ownership, local-food, and supporting Aboriginal led economic development. Seth finds this fun, and hopes it will contribute to creating a more co-operative, equitable, and democratic economy.
This workshop explains the historic role of co-operative businesses within communities over the last century, and how Co-ops have been fundamental in driving economic development initiatives.
