Fall, 2009 - Volume 1, Issue1

The Institute has undergone several changes, including the introduction of our new name. In October 2009, the University of Victoria Senate approved the request from the Director

and Board our new name - The Centre for Co-operative and Community-Based Economy.

We have also introduced a new Research Fellowship Program.

Since 2000, BCICS has produced the newsletter Anthill. The newsletter is a vehicle for promoting and disseminating the work of the Institute and for staying in touch with an ever-expanding network of contacts locally, nationally, and around the world. Stories are submitted by staff, researchers, students, and Institute research associates. Many of the articles represent the first printing of pioneering research in Co-operative Studies. In addition to its print distribution, all issues of the Anthill are available online.
