## History

[edit]

The Saskatchewan Co-operative Association was an original regional affiliated of the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) at the time of the CCA's creation in 1987. The SCA became independent of the CCA in 2003.[2] On February 28, 2024, SCA annouonced that the Camp Kindling Co-operative Youth Retreat which had been available since 1928[2] would no longer be offered.[3] Camp Kindling (which previously was known as Co-op Camp) was a 4 to 5 day long summer camp for youth 12 to 18 years of age to develop leadership skills and learn about co-operatives.[4]
