What We're About

705-432-8407

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'.


Local



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


TransFair Canada

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.

Local purveyors of
live music.

Lazy Devils

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.
