Hey everyone, posting another update tonight:

First and foremost, thanks to everyone for sharing the petition and inviting people to the facebook group. We're still getting a lot of momentum, including posts on twitter and facebook by the Premier of BC.

Co-operatives and Mutuals Canada (CMC) and the British Columbia Co-op Association (BCCA) put out a joint release today as well:

A group of us met this evening to discuss options to bring back o this group, and we've formed two sub working groups: one exploring legal options, and the other public mobilization. People involved in both groups will be reaching out over the facebook group:

While we are not certain of our options yet, we are actively seeking advice on how to proceed. The petition has reached over 20,000 signatures, and we encourage you to keep sharing:
