Sointula was found back in 1901 with
an ideology that promoted equality between the sexes a bit
ahead of its time.
The
idea of cooperation and sharing manifested into the CO-OPs that
we now have today.
With a population of about 800 people, we currently have
70 co-ops and non-profit organizations on Malcolm Island. The
town is run by hard working
volunteers and board members dedicated to keeping our island
home a great place to live. |
