Coop Focus Online One of the goals of the scholarship program is to support students through four years of post-secondary education. Altogether, there are now 71 young people including mature students involved in the scholarship program. CHFT has awarded over $275,000.00 in scholarships. This year we have 21 scholarships available for young people entering their first year of college or university. In addition, we will be awarding the Success Becomes You Scholarship. This scholarship recognizes youth who are determined to succeed at the post- secondary level or in a skilled trade and who did not have the opportunity to finish high school due to family, financial or other circumstances. This year's Diversity Scholarship Event which took place at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts was a huge success. 21 Scholarships were awarded to the students from the co-ops all across Toronto. CHF Canada's 2008 Annual General Meeting took place in Toronto, Ontario from June 12 - 14. Diversity Committee Ontario Council Co-operative Housing Awards 2008- Century of Co-operation As the program has expanded, it has kept pricing stable and sometimes, even lowered it. Whether it is appliances with Appliance Canada or paper with Grand & Toy, Co-op Cost Cutters aims for the best value. That means price, quality and service are all equally important. Miriam Wohl, co-ordinator of the program, provides a level of support that saves time for staff. If there is a problem with any of the suppliers, Miriam is a phone call or email away. By using the buying program, staff save time and co-ops save money. As more and more co-ops use the program, it strengthens buying power. Check out the Co-op Cost Cutters website at
