Members are owners. They have the ability to participate in the democratic process at their local association’s annual meeting, which includes asking questions, proposing/voting on resolutions, becoming a board member and electing board members.
Our profits are your profits
As owners, members also receive a portion of any profits earned by their local co-operative association. Over the past five years, local associations across Western Canada have returned almost $1.4 billion to their members.
The amount members potentially receive is based on a percentage of their purchases throughout the year, which is distributed back to their members. Like a savings account, every member has an equity account that grows over time. Decisions and policies on profit-sharing are made locally and vary between co-operative associations.
Becoming a member is easy. You can:
- Apply in person at one of our locations, found in the following central Alberta communities:
- Blackfalds — Castor — Crossfield — Eckville — Innisfail — Lacombe — Red Deer — Spruce View — Stettler — Sylvan Lake
- Apply for your personal or business membership online! Simply click here to start the application process.
If applying for a business membership, we may require additional information regarding your business. If necessary, we will reach out to you.
