I look outside to see that the first fall of snow has arrived, signalling the change of season and a change of pace for everyone. November has absolutely flown by for everyone, getting us one step closer towards the end of 2022. It’s hard to believe that tomorrow, we will be entering the last month of this exciting year.
November’s theme seemed to be meetings. CMC staff and I attended a wide array of meetings, from board meetings, meetings with Members of Parliament, meetings with our members, conferences, webinars and many more. I often hear people say meetings are some of their least favourite things. However, I feel like meetings bring us together to discuss important topics, but also to remind us that we are all humans working towards the same goal, one step at a time.
The discussions we’ve had this month have kept pushing the co-operative movement forward and have gained us many wins. One of these wins is the addition of two new regular members to CMC, which we are extremely proud of. We are happy to welcome Promutuel Insurance to CMC. A leader in the insurance sector of Québec, Promutuel Insurance has 170 years of expertise in its field. Additionally, CMC is also pleased to see Calgary Co-op come onboard as a regular member. Calgary Co-op has been serving Calgarians since 1956, and has been a strong voice in the co-operative community out West. I speak for the entire CMC Team when I say we are very excited to continue working with them, all while growing the co-operative and mutual family.
Tomorrow, December will be here, and in a blink of an eye, so will the holiday season. The CMC team is geared and ready for the final push of the year. We are extremely proud of the work we accomplished, and we cannot wait to finish the year on a high note.
