Launch of NLFC's Impact Dashboard 🎉

The NLFC is proud to launch our new Impact Dashboard to showcase our collective impact as the co-operative sector of NL. With each update, we will be able to demonstrate a more accurate and detailed impact picture.

With strong values and principles, the co-operative model is a powerful driver for social and economic impact.

This tool was made possible with the support of Common Approach to Impact Measurement and Purpose Analytics.

Explore the tool by clicking on Snapshot and Trends. If you have any suggestions or would like to learn more/participate, just reach out to Kristen!

🌊 What if Snook’s Arm just needed a co-op?

In Below, the hit TV series filmed in Newfoundland and Labrador, the community faces a big question: should they stay or go?

Fogo Island faced that question, too. Instead of resettling, residents stayed, came together, and built a co-operative that helped create the vibrant community we know today.

Co-ops can’t solve every problem… and we can’t promise to stop the sea monster! 🐙 But working together can help communities build a future worth staying for.

🌟Co-op Week Recap 🌟



With Co-op Week ending this past Saturday, we wanted to take a moment and recap the successes of last week! Our seven sessions were well attended, and it was a great opportunity for us to connect with our members. Thank you to all the members who joined us for our events; we hope you found them useful and have gained knowledge that you can apply to your co-ops in the future! We can't wait to do it all again next year!



Once again thank you to our sponsors for their generous support; Atlantic Edge Credit Union, NL Association of CBDCs, Atlantic Retail Co-operatives Federation, CSCNL, and Baie Verte Consumers Co-op.

Today is International Credit Union Day, and the latest figures from the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) give a useful picture of the scale and direction of the movement.

At the end of 2025, around 61,838 credit unions and financial cooperatives across 93 countries served nearly 420 million members and managed US$3.98 trillion in assets.

The report also points to some of the issues shaping what comes next: regulation, digital competition, digital transformation, artificial intelligence and governance. It also includes new data on leadership, with women holding around 28% of board seats across the sample reviewed.

In a new Co-op News piece, WOCCU President and CEO Paul Treinen reflects on trust, purposeful innovation, governance, member engagement and the continued importance of the cooperative model.

Our Managing Director, Dave Walsh was in Ottawa recently, taking part in the Canada Co-o I Coop Canada Parliamentary Breakfast, which included the launch of Canada Co-op's Power the Economy Report. At the event, Dave had a chance to speak with MP Tom Osborne about the coop sector in NL. Also pictured is Dave and David Daughton with the Prince Edward Island Co-operative Council.

The event also featured Andrew Pakes, Member of Parliament and the UK Government envoy for co-operatives and mutuals. His discussion surrounded the UK's recent commitment to double the size of their co-operative and mutuals economy, as well as ensuring that the correct policy, regulatory, and capital conditions are in place to facilitate the growth. With such goals in place, Canada hopes to continue building a strong partnership with the UK with potential for future collaborations.

With $61.1 billion contributed to Canada's GDP, 6,173 co-operatives, credit unions, caisses and mutuals, operating across Canada, and more than 1 billion members of co-operatives worldwide, co-operatives are poised to continue building stronger and more stable communities across the world.
