ACE<\/a>–IRECUS<\/a>–CASC<\/a> conference 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longueuil, Quebec (a suburb of Montreal)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I consider this conference a big success. Every session was good, and a number were outstanding. Two of them were so useful that I wrote them up in detail: converting businesses to worker co-ops<\/a> y addressing power dynamics<\/a>. Additionally, we made many new contacts and renewed some old friendships. (If you don’t see the captions on the photos, click here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the conference, the organizers took participants on tours of the solidarity economy in Montreal. This building, known simply as Building 7<\/a>, houses a print shop, a darkroom, a space with two 3D printers, a woodworking shop, a metalworking shop, a pottery workshop, a silkscreening workshop, a small grocery store, a coffeehouse\/brewpub (brewing is done on site), a bike workshop, a car workshop, an assortment of meeting rooms, dedicated space for teens, dedicated space for very young children, and a storage area. And all that only takes up about a quarter of the building.
