Soaring Sisters Enterprises Co-operative is a Women's Co-operative whose mandate is to provide greater opportunity for all women in Cape Breton to partake in the social, public, and private economies. They operate a catering business, a canteen at the Gaelic College in Baddeck, provide Administrative Services to businesses, and deliver a certified communication program, titled Smart Talk. They have only been in operation since Aug. 2000, yet have already learned a great deal through their experiences.
Eileen MacNeil, one member of the co-op says "our biggest challenge is to find
some operational money so we can hire one of our members as a
full-time manager to help us develop the business side of the
organization. We all [need other jobs] to support us besides Soaring
Sisters." Soaring Sisters welcomes inquiries about their co-op.
