About
Estuaire is a worker co-op that supports organizations in carrying out projects that strengthen the well-being of our communities.
Inspired by the power of the estuary, we build engaged, caring partnerships that leave a positive impact on society, the economy, and the environment.
Our strength: taking the time to do things right, rather than fast.
We favour carefully designed processes over rushed solutions.
Our approach is collaborative: we don’t impose our answers, we build them with you.
What drives us
The many crises we face together call on us to rethink how we act and to renew our ways of being.
Change begins within us. It moves slowly, it asks for patience and gentleness. This call is also an opportunity to imagine new possibilities.
This is the starting point of our offering.
It’s the impetus that led us to found Estuaire and to organize as a co-operative. Our intention is, first, to create jobs for ourselves that reflect who we are – but above all, to be in authentic relationship with ourselves and with others.
Even as a single drop,
Estuaire stands in resistance.
Believing in our capacity to influence
Contributing, one project at a time,
to a dignified transition
Questioning the status quo
Taking apart and building anew
(Re)learning history
Embracing many ways of knowing
Accepting our missteps, trying again
Exploring new paths
Landing together, differently.
At the heart of Estuaire there is also a clear desire to choose joy; to give it real space in our day to day lives: in small rituals, in knowing nods and shared smiles, and in celebrations – quiet or loud.
Estuaire is proud to be a social economy enterprise and to be rooted in this rich ecosystem.
