NARTI Online Training & DevelopmentWrite Here, Write Now Live Coaching Writing RetreatWith Will Medd Mornings 13-16 July 2025 (09.30-13.00– UK time) Online via Zoom Creating a productive writing habit is a challenge for many writers, often leading to frustration and a feeling of never having done enough. That can develop into anxiety and a sense that ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘I shouldn’t be here’. It’s easy to find yourself putting off writing until it starts to feel too late. While some people respond well to the pressure to write to a high standard, for others it can be the main hindrance to their writing. Experience dedicated, focused and productive writing time WriteHere, RightNow offers a unique format, for writers at any stage of their process and career, which combines the space of a writing retreat with the provocation of live coaching.

Canadian Business History MuseumA Fresh Take on the History of the Desjardins GroupBy: Pierre-Olivier Maheux, Historian at the Desjardins Group and CBHA Member Are you familiar with Alphonse and Dorimène Desjardins? In 1900, they founded Canada’s first credit union—or caisse populaire, as it was known at the time. Over the years, it’s grown into Desjardins Group, the largest cooperative financial group in Canada and a worldwide leader. This remarkable business history story began in their home in Lévis, just across the river from Quebec City. Today, Maison Alphonse-Desjardins is a museum that’s open to the public free of charge. Few financial institutions in Canada offer such a rich showcase of their history. The house has been fully restored and takes visitors back to 1906, offering a window into the Desjardins household and the place where the cooperative’s first members conducted their transactions. A new permanent exhibition, From Them to You. Alphonse and Dorimène: A Collective Journey, has just opened. It presents a modern, interactive interpretation of the birth of Desjardins Group, designed with families in mind. It’s a must for anyone who’s interested in business history. If you’re visiting the Quebec City area, come say hi! To learn more about the museum, click here. Un regard neuf sur l’histoire du Mouvement Desjardins Par: Pierre-Olivier Maheux, historien au Mouvement Desjardins et membre de l’ACHA Connaissez-vous Alphonse et Dorimène Desjardins? Ils sont à l’origine de la fondation de la première caisse populaire au Canada en 1900. Au fil des ans, elle est devenue le Mouvement Desjardins, le plus important groupe financier coopératif au Canada et parmi les premiers au monde. Cette incroyable histoire a commencé dans leur résidence de Lévis, non loin de Québec. Transformée en musée, la Maison Alphonse Desjardins est accessible gratuitement. Rares sont les institutions financières au Canada qui offrent au public une telle mise en valeur de leur histoire. La reconstitution de la maison comme elle était en 1906 permet de découvrir à la fois le lieu où les membres réalisaient leurs transactions financières et le cadre de la vie familiale des Desjardins. Une toute nouvelle exposition permanente, intitulée D’eux à nous, Alphonse et Dorimène : une aventure collective, vient d’être inaugurée. Elle propose une lecture actuelle et accessible de la naissance du Mouvement Desjardins dans un environnement interactif conçu pour les familles. La visite est un incontournable pour ceux et celles que l’histoire d’entreprise passionne. Vous êtes de passage dans la grande région de Québec? Venez nous voir!
