This book was released on 1976 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes the advantages and disadvantages of four strategies used by various continuing housing co-operatives to develop the co-op housing sector in Canada. It describes the values served by these different strategies, and analyses the continuing housing co-operatives from a social science perspective. The author then proposes a new development strategy which he calls "institutional innovation diffusion". It combines the more successful aspects from two of the above strategies, with the concept of facilitators or advocates (a variation of resource groups) who provide technical services to new local continuing housing co-ops. The new strategy underscores the importance of learning and communication processes.

Book excerpt: Extract: The housing co-op movement in Canada is explained as a learning system and is presented as an innovative framework for social housing policy planning. This paper summarizes the place of the co-op housing movement in the context of the existing housing system in Canada, and develops a conceptual framework and theory of this movement as a learnng system.

Case studies are presented which analyse the extent to which co-op resource organizations fulfill their role in the learning system movement.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work written by Francis J. Turner and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-07-23 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us, as Canadians, are touched throughout our lives by some aspect of social welfare, either as recipients, donors, or taxpayers. But despite the importance of the social network in our country, there has been no single source of information about this critical component of our society. Even professionals in the field of social work or social services have not had a comprehensive volume addressing the myriad features of this critical societal structure. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work fills this need. Over five hundred topics important to Canadian social work are covered, written by a highly diverse group of social workers covering all aspects of the field and all areas of the country. Practitioners, policy makers, academics, social advocates, researchers, students, and administrators present a rich overview of the complexity and diversity of social work and social welfare as it exists in Canada. The principal finding from this project underscores the long-held perception that there is a Canadian model of social work that is unique and stands as a useful model to other countries. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work will be an important source of information, both to Canadians and to interested groups around the world. The Encyclopedia of Canadian Social Work is available in e-book version by subscription or from university and college libraries through the following vendors: Canadian Electronic Library, Ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Netlibrary.

Book excerpt: A shift in US bank policy. A demonstration in Greece. A tsunami in Japan. In recent times, these kinds of events have had profound effects on the economic well-being of Canadians. In such a heavily globalized environment, it may seem that only large corporations with access to transnational resources can operate successfully, but Co-operative Canada demonstrates that this is not the case. Despite economic pressures following the 2008 recession, co-operatives in Canada are thriving. In fact, there are approximately nine thousand co-ops across the nation with a combined membership of about 18 million members – more than half the population of Canada. Drawing on the results of a large research project that examined co-operatives in communities from coast to coast to coast, Co-operative Canada reveals how Canadians are using the co-operative model to collectively respond to the forces of globalization through local, community-owned enterprises. It does this through specific examples that vividly describe the pragmatic realities of the communities these co-ops serve.
