2026 is a special year for Co-operatives First – we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary. For this 10th anniversary podcast series, we spoke to four “champions” who we’ve worked closely with over the years – who have started co-ops, provided business support for local people, and who are just great leaders themselves.
In this episode we spoke with Lindsay Alliban, an economic development officer, educator, speaker, and rural enthusiast in Southwest Saskatchewan. Lindsay believes if there is anywhere you can build something from nothing, small-town Saskatchewan is that place. She has been involved in creating not one, not two, but three co-operatives in her region and has a lot of great insights.
