  Co-operatives Secretariat
http://www.coop.gc.ca/index_e.php The Co-operatives Secretariat was established within the Government of Canada in 1987 to help the federal government respond more effectively to the concerns and needs of co-operatives.

The Secretariat advises the government on policies affecting co-operatives, co-ordinates the implementation of such policies, and encourages use of the co-operative model for the social and economic development of Canada's communities. The Secretariat also provides a link between the co-op sector and the many federal departments and agencies with which they interact.
  Coop Zone
http://www.coopzone.coop/ The Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) has been collaborating throughout the past years with its co-operative partners the Conseil Canadien de la Coopération (CCC) and the federal Co-operatives Secretariat to promote the co-operative model in a growing number of sectors and communities. One of the results of this partnership is CoopZone, Canada's exciting new co-operative development system. CoopZone is two things: a national Network of co-operative developers, and an on-line clearinghouse of information, tools and resources. CoopZone provides tools, co-op development resources and advice on starting and growing co-operatives.
