Who we are

LIFE Co-op is a renewable energy co-operative with its headquarters in Kitchener, ON. Established in 2006, the co-op is now over 440 members, and we are invite additional member-investors to join us as we seek out new ways to make community-owned renewable energy a larger part of our Province's energy system.


While our members are an essential part of the co-op - who often host energy projects, or find new ones, or invest in our upcoming projects - the daily operations and ongoing governance would not get done without the efforts of the folks below:

As GM Shane oversees everything from project development and financing to member management. Shane studied and taught on environmental politics and energy for a number of years before joining the co-op and beginning to work on projects he felt would be more tangible than academe.
