Co-op Covid Resilience Webinar #3: Co-op and Farm Supports and Resources

Webinar, Membership & Engagement, COVID-19

This third and final instalment of our Co-op Covid Resilience Webinar series brings us to navigating the support, funding and resources available for co-operatives in the local food sector, farms, retail grocery and small food businesses. We provide a highlighting of funding and services offered on the federal, provincial levels as well as the partnerships LFFC has such as the Fair Finance Fund and RAIN's SNAPP program.

Jennifer Ross of the Ontario Co-operative Association and Katie Baikie of Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario each discuss how their organizations leapt into action to support their members during COVID, what they offer and insights into how both co-operatives and local food can get us through COVID in more sustainable and equitable ways.
