Kanata Co-op

Our Mission:
Huron-Iroquois called their Villages “Kanata”. This word is said to be the origin of the world Canada.  Kanata Foods co-op reflect the core values of Canada; It starts with the principle of "shared destiny": meaning that we are best shaped through collective action and that when we convene the effort of individuals the results are not a sum, it’s a multiplication with greater achievements than the potential of each individual part.
