What is Coopérative Boréal?

The first business of its kind at the collegial level outside Quebec, Coop Boréal manages various food services at the college. It also votes on decisions taken by the Board of Directors. Students and staff coop members get discounts on products and services. Students can also work part time for the coop during the academic year.

Established in 1995 by Boréal administrators and incorporated in 1996, Boréal’s coop now has over 11,000 members!
