About
Who are we?
Incorporated in September of 2012, Ubuntu Services Cooperative Ltd. is a member owned co-operative based in Saskatchewan that has evolved through the deliberations of the Uganda Canadian Association of Sask. Inc. (UCAS). It has been part of the community’s vision to increase in numbers and support immigration from Uganda and Africa as a whole.
The primary role of the co-operative is to promote skill based education, and to support those who want to immigrate and settle in Saskatchewan through employment.
Ubuntu Services Cooperative Ltd is owned by the members and membership is open to the general public as long as they subscribe to the objectives and values of the cooperatives. The logic behind the cooperative is that members will share equally in the decision making of the business, through the guidance of the board.
