National Co-operative Housing Conference Comes to Fredericton; Community Invited to Free Film Screening and Panel Discussion
Over 500 housing leaders, co-op members, advocates, and sector partners from across Canada will gather in Fredericton this week for the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada’s Annual Meeting, a national conference focused on the future of co-operative housing and building stronger communities.
Fredericton, New Brunswick, June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This year’s conference will also welcome an international delegation from Australia, underscoring the growing global interest in Canada’s co-operative housing model. Representatives from the Australian Co-operative Housing Alliance recently joined a cross-country study tour hosted by CHF Canada, where they visited housing co-operatives and new development projects, met with sector leaders, government representatives, and community partners, and explored how co-operative housing is financed, governed, and sustained across the country.
The delegation will continue their learning and exchange at the Annual Meeting in Fredericton, bringing an international perspective to conversations about housing solutions and demonstrating the power of collaboration across borders.
As part of the conference, local residents are invited to attend a special free public event celebrating the power of co-operative housing through film and conversation.
