Cap Dauphin Fishermen's Cooperative is a finalist in the “Sustainable Development” award category of the Prix collectifs du Gala annuel du mouvement coopératif et mutualiste, and the recipients will be announced at the CQCM annual gala this week! The Cap Dauphin Fishermen's Cooperative in the Magdalen Islands is made up of 100 owner-fishermen. The co-op focuses on the quality of its lobsters. Thanks to rigorous stock management and modernized facilities, the cooperative guarantees compliance with the highest conservation standards. With specialized tanks from Aqua Biotech, a Québec-based company, lobster storage is optimized for variable duration, ensuring adequate oxygenation and temperature. ⬇️ Discover their portrait (in French)! ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eEB9SaMC GALA TICKETS: https://lnkd.in/eNeZJhH6

🗓 This is Cooperatives Week (Semaine de la Coopération)! So for the occasion, we'd like to highlight the Coopérative Multi-Services de Tewkesbury! When their rural community was abandoned by a snow removal service, the residents came together to form their own co-op to manage snowplowing. Since then, they’ve expanded into other services for its members too! Check out our video capsule below to learn more about how they started their co-op! ➡ To see all of our podcasts and web capsules (including a version with French subtitles): https://lnkd.in/eEf8_bfF 📽 Avenue 8 #SemaineDeLaCoopération #EffetCOOP #ÉconomieSociale #EntrepreneuriatCollectif #cooperative
