Opportunity to contribute to improving governance of community stores

Image

We’re working on a project to develop a practical, culturally appropriate governance training package for remote community store directors as part of the 'Remote retail' pillar of the National strategy for food security in remote First Nations communities.

The project aims to support strong, transparent, and sustainable store operations that support food security and benefit the whole community.

We're surveying community store directors and stakeholders in remote community stores to find out about store governance practices, challenges, and training preferences from people who are actively involved with stores.

The information will be used to create and provide training. This will make sure the training helps with real-world needs and challenges.

How to help

We have 2 surveys – one for store directors, and one for everyone else.

Store directors
