Hey there!

So I’m finally moving to Calgary within a month (yayy). I kinda want to support co-operatives here. Of course, I’m aware of the existence of Calgary Coop. Aside from that, do you know any cool cooperatives whose products/services u use?

Any good credit unions? I heard servus was good. Are there any smaller shops/cafes which are some sort of cooperative? Any mentions would be appreciated! :)

    Woah, that sounds depressing. How did this happen though? Weren’t the members not active enough throughout the years to prevent this state of affairs?

      I really liked the co-op by my house. So sad that they closed it. I found out a bit overpriced but there was some stuff you couldn’t get anywhere else. Also, I got to see the back rooms of a number of stores over the years, and that Co-op (compared to a number of other grocery stores) was by far the cleanest and tidiest.
