Working Together: Two Centuries of Co-Operation on Prince Edward Island

Working Together tells the story of the co-op movement in Prince Edward Island, from its beginnings in the 19th century to its prospects for the 21st. Based on exhaustive research and dozens of interviews, and written in a journalistic style, it shows how innovative Islanders have reshaped ideas and models developed elsewhere to fit their particular needs. Where no models existed, they created their own; their farmers’ banks and fishermen’s unions have, in turn, inspired co-operators in other places.
