Elite EX

All year long, we recognize team members who go above and beyond with EX Awards—celebrating excellent service in action. 🌟 Once a year, our Board selects one story to receive the EX Elite Award, representing the very best of what Co-op service can be. 💙

This year, our Whitecourt team members Rhonda and Kayla (not pictured) earned the EX Elite Award for their outstanding efforts in assisting a mother who had accidentally locked her children in her vehicle. Their kindness, calm, and quick action turned a stressful situation into a shining example of what it means to care for our community. 🙌

Congratulations, Rhonda and Kayla—you make us proud! 👏👏

Volunteer Winner

At Pembina West Co-op, community is at the heart of everything we do—and that includes the amazing people on our team. 💙

To recognize all the volunteering our team members do, both at Co-op events and in the community, we launched a volunteer database where team members can record their hours. For every unpaid hour they give back, they earn an entry into a draw for a $500 donation to the non-profit of their choice! 🌟

This quarter, from over 470 hours volunteered, we announced the winner live at our Team Celebration Event. Congratulations to Candace Keown, our Deli Manager, who is chosing to support the Barrhead Animal Rescue Society! 🐾💙

An incredible cause supported by an incredible community builder—way to go, Candace! 👏
