5.     Membership Benefits

 

A co-operative is an organization that is owned by its members, for the good of its members.  With a one-dollar investment, you will own a share of Calgary Co-op.  As a member, you can run for the board of directors, attend Calgary Co-op’s Annual Meeting and cast a vote during yearly director elections. 

 

As a Calgary Co-op member, you’ll also have the opportunity to earn an annual member refund based on the amount of purchases you’ve made each year. This includes everything purchased at Calgary Co-op food centres, including Pharmacy; Wine, Spirits, Beer locations; Home Health Care stores, and at Calgary Co-op gas bars for petroleum and convenience store purchases.

 

With Revved Up Rewards, you’ll also receive an additional two cents per litre towards your next grocery purchase — every time you fill up your vehicle.

 

T4As are mailed in January of each year to members who earned a member refund in excess of $100 and received a statement detailing their refund in February for the prior year.
