  • First Funeral Co-operative in NL

    Very soon, Sunrise Funeral Co-operative, will be incorporated in NL. With the help of the Network of Funeral Co-operatives (FCFQ; mainly Quebec, but several members in Atlantic Canada, US, and South America) and the NL Federation of Co-operatives (NLFC) a steering committee of local members – which I joined in April – has been working with a support group of experts towards establishing this community co-operative in the province. Recently, CBC did an interview with one of the experts, David Emond, about this project. You can listen to this interview here. I am excited about this soon to be new member of the co-operative movement and network in NL.
