When I last wrote about the Co-op Development Initiative, I mentioned our great pleasure at the Initiative's four-year renewal by the federal government. This $19.1 million contribution to the Canadian co-op sector is invaluable - it allows, for example, BCCA's Advisory Service program for emerging co-ops to continue; and, through the Innovative Co-operative Program (ICP) component of the CDI, it provides substantial, multi-year grants to more established co-ops.

BCCA staff are hopeful that the results of the July, 2009, ICP competition will be announced by the Minister by 18 January, and perhaps earlier.

We do not yet have information on the results of the first round of the ICP competition – the file is still with the Minister.

GOVERNANCE MATTERS TO YOUR CO-OP OR CREDIT UNION...SO LET EVERYONE KNOW!
Is the board of your co-op or credit union doing a great job governing the organization's affairs? Does the board strive for excellence by adopting new practices to improve the way it works, fulfilling the co-operative principles, and sharing best practices with others?
For the past two years, the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA)'s Leadership in Co-operative Governance Award has recognized the best in co-operative board governance across the country.

Update on ICP from CCA staff in Ottawa:
1. The list of recommended projects from the July competition is with the Minister.
2. New applications: although the formal deadline for ICP is 31 December 2009, Ottawa CCA staff strongly recommend submission by 23 December 2009. (We all know how technology can fail us at just the wrong time and how that can be especially troubling during a holiday period....)

7 October 2009: The latest information from CCA in Ottawa is that results of the ICP grant application process will be announced by 21 October. However, as with most political matters, this bulletin comes with no guarantee!
