Cannington's meeting place where you can always find good food, good coffee, good people and great music.

1 Cameron St. West, Cannington
Before telephones, telegraphs or an efficient postal service, coffeehouses brought people face to face in conversation, and coffee stimulated debate. They were great social levellers, open to all and indifferent to social status.
Cameron St. Co-op is a venue for dialogue, political debate, social criticism and just plain socializing. Please come on out and see why we consider ourselves to be Cannington's gathering place and healthy antidote to the latest crop of production-line coffee 'outlets'.
All effort is made to buy our products from small local businesses and farms with an emphasis on organic and natural foods. The aim is to offer local, high quality, fresh, homemade foods at a price the rest of us can afford.
The concept of buying local is simply to buy food (or any good or service) produced, grown, or raised as close to you as possible. Buying your food locally is good for the local economy, good for family farmers, good for your family's health, and good for the environment.
Fairtrade standards have a social welfare goal and are primarily designed to ensure that disadvantaged producers in the third world can gain more control over their lives.
Organic standards define the method of production. It embraces a 'whole system' approach which address many environmental issues. Further, organic principles have always recognised the importance of the social and ethical aspects of production.
Coffee houses have been a haven and breeding ground for songwriters and performers throughout the history of contemporary music. It's one of the best environments to hear local and traveling musicians. We continue in this tradition by presenting the best live music in the area.
A special thank-you to Jordan Starr for the beautiful photography.

Brock Township has a new community resource that has the potential to celebrate our rich past and plant the seeds for a vibrant future.
The Nourish and Develop Foundation is facilitating a community consultation to plan for the use of the new Patterson Community Services Building. Scheduled to begin its construction in spring 2012, the new building will be constructed to resemble Cannington’s historic Queen’s Hotel and will be equipped with the latest technology.
The Patterson Community Services Building is intended to operate as a social enterprise. This simply means revenues generated through the operation of the Patterson Building will be re-invested back into community initiatives.
THERE ARE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES!
Help turn these ideas into a shared community vision that will make a real difference for Brock…
What is our community missing? Do you have other great ideas for the community?
