What is the Prince Edward Island Co-operative Council?
The Prince Edward Island Co-operative Council (PEICC) was formally established as a corporation on July 27, 2007. Ten nominees formed a steering committee to work on ways to channel the enthusiasm and commitment of the co-op sector on P.E.I. into an effective council. The organization is registered under the Co-operative Associations Act of Prince Edward Island. The first AGM was held in November 2007 and the board of directors was officially elected. On December 6 of the same year, the first official council meeting with the new board of directors was held. In April 2008, an executive director was hired to help the Council carry out its mandate and to promote the co-operative business model.
The PEICC’s mission statement was developed during a strategic planning session in November 2009.
The Prince Edward Co-operative Council will provide support to its members, promote the co-operative model, and continue to improve the economic and social fabric of Prince Edward Island.
