BCICS
Website Update
|
A
new feature on BCICS web site is a form that lets visitors add their
names to the Anthill mailing
list.
This interactive feature has been introduced as a way to better
streamline the distribution of hardcopy and e-mail versions of the
Anthill. The e-mail version of the Anthill will link readers to
articles published on the BCICS web
site.
Mailing list information is now stored in a database on the BCICS
web server. The new feature is the first in a series of steps to
make the Institute's web site more interactive. Currently on the
workbench is an additional function to the mail list form that will
give subscribers the ability to edit or remove their contact information
online using their web browser.
In addition to the mailing list form, BCICS welcomes site visitors
to add information to the new Co-op
Events Calendar. The calendar will link visitors to information
on co-op events held locally, nationally and internationally.
BCICS Website Charts Progress of
BC's Co-op Legislation
The British Columbia Institute of Co-operative Studies Website now
has a British Columbia
Co-operative Legislation Index. This section of the BCICS site
provides clearly researched links to relevant legislation pertaining
to Co-operatives and Credit Unions in the province of British Columbia
and the rest of Canada. This resource also provides links to cases
or legislative disputes that affect co-operatives in Canada. For
example the site has charted information surrounding the Ontario
government's controversial Social Housing Reform Bill 128 and the
reaction and action of the housing co-op community in the province
to it. Such a case is important in regards to co-ops and legislation,
as it defines their relationship to government and whether government
considers the co-operative perspective in the framing of legislation.
This information will hopefully provide both co-operators and students
of co-operative studies access and insight to the laws that affect
co-operation and how such laws play out in their application. The
website will also update changes or modifications in legislation
and cases involving co-ops and credit unions accordingly.
