Description:... From Concluding Remarks: This report has clearly demonstrated that co-ooperatives are an integral part of the social and economic fabric of Saskatchewan life. They provide a wide range of services, from child care and housing to financial services and international marketing. They are found in all types of communities, from hamlets of 50 people to the largest urban centres. The concentration of co-operatives in small rural communities indicates that these enterprises are filling an important need for many Saskatchewan residents. As one of the few remaining businesses in many centres, co-operatives are often central to the local economy and essential to the survival of the community.
