The Westview Co-op’s AGM will be held in person on Tuesday, May 9 in Hanna.
This is the first time the meeting has been held in person for a few years, and the first time it has been held in Hanna.
Nominations closed on April 10 for the three seats up for election.
It has been a busy year for Westview Co-op. Locally, Drumheller residents saw the demolition of the Greentree Mall, which is in the late stages of completion.
“We are getting there, as we are crushing the concrete. It is nearing the end, and then we can figure out what’s next,” said, Mike Isaak, general manager.
The Co-op gas bar also received a much-needed refreshment with new pumps to serve members and customers.
This year Hanna also received a new Co-op gas bar. It was announced in November 2021 that in a deal with Cenovus, Federated Co-op would be acquiring 171 Husky retail fuel sites. Westview Co-op purchased the former Husky retail fuel dealership in Hanna. The deal was completed in September, and in February of his year, they held its grand opening.
It continued to be a year of growth for Westview Co-op. This year it acquired Grass Lumber and Sales, expanding into Didsbury.
“Westview Co-op has made strategic investments to grow our business over the past several years,” said Issak. “We are excited for this opportunity to grow our Home and Building footprint and contribute to the long-term sustainability of our business. Making investments in our communities and creating value for our members and customers is at the core of who we are as a Co-op.”
The AGM begins at 7 p.m. on May 9, at the Hanna Legion. AGM registration deadline is May 8.
“We will be doing an in-person meeting this year, we won't have access virtually,” said Issak. “This is the first time we have done a meeting in person for probably three years, since before COVID. So we are going to see what kind of participation we get.”
