Calgary really comes alive in the summer; it’s the season

that offers something for everyone.

If you are a person who enjoys a peaceful, backyard

barbeque with a few close friends or someone who prefers

fireworks and festivals surrounded by many, you can enjoy

both in Calgary and we have plenty of suggestions for you

and your family. See Events on page 4.

If you are staying in town with the kids this summer, you will

want to plan a day trip, pack a picnic and head down to the new

Calgary Co-op Kids Zone at the Calgary Zoo. The entire family

is sure to enjoy watching the menagerie of colourful animals

passing by on the new children’s carousel. Pictures on page 5.

Barbeque in the backyard or picnic in the park, whichever you

choose this summer, Calgary Co-op has everything you need to

make your summer delicious! From marinated meats to perfectly

ripened fruits, it’s all in store for you today. See page 6 for some

tasty ideas. Enjoy!

During September and October, your Calgary

Co-op board of directors will be hosting

our annual Meet Your Directors events in all

Calgary Co-op food centres.

This event gives you, our member-owners,

an opportunity to talk with us and to ask

questions about your Calgary Co-op. We

always welcome the opportunity to speak

with our member-owners and look forward to

seeing you when you stop by to visit with us

during these events.

Planning is also underway for our 54th annual

general meeting to be held on March 9, 2011, as

well as for the director election. This year, we

are seeking qualified candidates for three board

positions, all for three year terms. We encourage

any member who is considering standing for

election for the board of directors to obtain a

copy of the 2011 Director Election Handbook,

which will be available in Calgary Co-op food

centres and on www.calgarycoop.com

starting mid-September. The handbook

provides important information about the

role of a director, eligibility, the nomination

process, important deadlines for the election,

and other important dates. Information will

also be published in the fall and winter editions

of Co-op News.

Your board also looks forward to seeing many

of our senior members at our annual Seniors’

Day event at Heritage Park on August 24. See

page 5 for event and ticket information.

On behalf of the Board of Directors

Stuart Cantrill, Board Chair

It’s one thing to talk about doing our best to

provide our member-owners with outstanding

service, quality products, superior facilities

and exceptional value, but we also deliver on

this promise.

We take pride in our employees and the

excellent customer service they provide

every day, so it is no surprise that two of our

employees, Carmela Russo and Kirstie Davies,

recently won White Hat awards. Carmela was

honoured with the Mayor’s White Hat Award,

an achievement over and above all categories,

while Kirstie received a coveted White Hat

Award for Retail Service Excellence. We

congratulate them on their achievements and

also extend congratulations to all of our other

employees who were nominated for a White

Hat Award this year (see page 10).

In addition to providing excellent customer

service, we recognize that our member-owners

expect us to provide great quality products

at a great price and to support Canadian

growers at every opportunity, which we do

well. For example, naturally grown and ripened

tomatoes are delivered to our stores within 24

hours of being picked at Paradise Hill Farm in

Nanton. Being locally owned allows us to seek

out the freshest products for delivery to our

stores as soon as they become available.

We are also committed to providing you with

the best fresh quality products and grocery

variety at a competitive price. The weekly price

checks we conduct of our main competitors

confirms that our prices are the same and, in

many cases, better than their prices. See page

9 for a summary of our weekly price checks

during June. When you shop at Calgary Co-op,

you not only support a locally owned company,

you are assured of getting fresh quality

products at a great price!

A Hole in One!Calgary Co-op hosted its 17th Annual Charity Golf Classic on June 9th at

Heritage Pointe Golf and Country Club. The Fan 960’s Mike Richards and

team got the morning started by broadcasting their morning show, live

from Heritage Pointe. This year’s tournament began with dark skies and

high wind warnings. Within a couple of hours it was really raining hard,

but the torrential rain and raging wind couldn’t dampen the spirits of our

dedicated golf teams. Many golfers braved all 18 holes! Thank you to

Fan 960 and our golfers for making this day a success.

Our tournament raised over $230,000 bringing the grand total raised

since 1993 to over $3.3 million! This year’s recipients are the Calgary

Zoological Society for the new Calgary Co-op Kids Zone and the Alberta

Children’s Hospital for their Bring in the Clowns program.

On behalf of everyone at Calgary Co-op, we extend a special thank you to

all of the sponsors who made this event possible. Without their help and

continuing support, we simply would not be able to raise the outstanding

amount of funds we do for deserving local charities. Thank you as well

to the professional staff at Heritage Pointe, and to our hardworking Golf

Classic Committee and other volunteers for putting on such a fun and

worthwhile event.

Calgary Co-op Whole Health ChallengeCongratulations to all of the participants in this year’s Calgary Co-op

Whole Health Challenge! Over 1,400 members signed up for the 12 week

challenge with goals of making healthy lifestyle choices to improve their

overall health and fitness levels. The successes and achievements of

the participants were incredible! Each participant completed six mini-

challenges, and many attended motivational seminars on goal setting

such as exercise, running, walking and smoking cessation. Our pharmacies

worked with participants to chart their progress and to keep everyone

motivated. Our Grand Finale was held at the Olympic Oval on May 8th

with gold, silver and bronze medals awarded in both the men and women

categories along with some fantastic prizes. A medal was also awarded

to the winner of the Calgary Co-op Employee category.

Thank you to all of our participants and partners in the Calgary Co-op Whole

Health Challenge, including the Calgary Weight Management Centre, The

Running Room, Calgary Flames, CrossFit Calgary, Optimum Performance

Training, Allegro Cheese, Pfizer, Olympic Oval, University of Calgary, Team

Tri Life, Calgary Herald, Westjet, Healthwave Diagnostechs, XL 103 FM,

Resorts of the Canadian Rockies and CTV.

Be sure to watch for the next Calgary Co-op Whole Health Challenge,

which promises to be bigger and better in 2011!

Draft Horse Town Calgary Co-op was a major sponsor of the new Draft Horse Town at the

Stampede grounds this year, which included a “Calgary Co-op General Store”.

Thousands of visitors took advantage of the opportunity to visit Draft

Horse Town and met Belgians, Clydesdales, Percherons and Shires; the

mighty horses that helped build the West. We also sponsored the

winning team in the Draft Horse Competition!

This was a great opportunity to develop a new partnership with The

Calgary Stampede and to show support for our community. Thanks for

coming out!

Seniors’ Day 2010The annual Calgary Co-op Seniors’ Day event will take place at Heritage

Park on August 24th. The event will start at 11:30 a.m., with lunch service

beginning at 12:00 noon and ending by approximately 1:15 p.m. Because

our event is being held in August, the Park will be open to other visitors,

which means all park attractions will be open for your enjoyment!

Tickets are $10.00 each (including gst) and go on sale at all Calgary Co-op

customer service offices in early August. Hurry, this popular event sells out

fast, so tickets are limited to a maximum of two tickets per senior member.

The event goes ahead sun, rain or otherwise! Watch for posters in our food

centres or visit Events at www.calgarycoop.com for details.

For those of you requiring Calgary Transit, there will be a bus traveling

the Calgary Transit website www.calgarytransit.com for details.

Gauge and SaveCalgary Co-op gas bars are partnering with the Calgary Region Airshed

Zone for its “Gauge and Save Program”, which raises awareness about

how properly inflated tires can increase fuel efficiency – something of

interest to all of us!

CRAZ volunteers will be visiting 16 Calgary Co-op gas bars over three weeks

beginning July 28th to talk with our members and customers about how

to check tire pressure and other maintenance tips that can help save you

money! Visit www.calgarycoop.com for dates and gas bar locations.

Meet Your DirectorsCalgary Co-op’s annual Meet Your Directors event will take place during

September and October. This event gives you the opportunity to talk

face-to-face with your elected board of directors about your co-operative.

FreshWhen it’s hot outside, you want to keep it cool inside, so forget pre-heating the

oven and get fired up to grill outdoors. This summer, barbequing has never been

easier thanks to Calgary Co-op. On your way home from work, or before you

have to pick up the kids, just stop by your favourite Calgary Co-op and choose

from a fabulous selection of our delicious marinated or seasoned grilling items.

You can have roasted red pepper chicken kabobs on Monday, fresh western

Canadian 100% beef burgers on Tuesday and Greek pork back ribs on Wednesday.

With 27 varieties, your meal possibilities are endless!

Look for these great selections in the meat department at your local Calgary

Co-op Centre.

Support Canadian Growers and ProducersBecause what we eat is a fundamental part of our lives, Calgary Co-op is

committed to supporting Canadian growers and producers. Our bold, new

signs will help you choose Canadian products and support local growers

and producers.

Just Add FruitThere is nothing better on a hot summer day than grazing on the multitude

of fresh fruit that is available only during these warm months. At Calgary

Co-op, we realize that the quality of your summer fruit is paramount, so we’re

bringing the fruit stand to you! Our fruit stand houses delectable cherries,

juicy peaches and sweet nectarines, just to name a few. And while these

beauties are more than appetizing on their own, try the following recipe with

stone fruit fresh from Calgary Co-op.

Wines & Spirits StoresRenovations at our Taradale Wines & Spirits location are now complete.

Customers will enjoy this larger facility, the new interior décor, walk-in beer

cooler and expanded product selection. Planning for renovations to our

Beddington Wines & Spirits location is currently taking place and will see some

of the same changes incorporated. We’ve also recently opened our 5,000

square foot Kingsland Wines & Spirits Store at 6709 Macleod Trail SW.

Residents around our Crowfoot location will be glad to hear that our new

Wines & Spirits store is currently under construction. When complete, the

location will include all the products and services you’ve come to know and

trust. At the same time, the Oakridge Wines & Spirits location will be moving

from inside our Oakridge Centre mall to its own stand alone location across

the parking lot from the centre. Watch for both of these locations to open

this fall!

Gas Bar and Car WashesOur Crowfoot and Shawnessy gas bars have begun work on major underground

fuel storage upgrades. These upgrades will increase the fuel storage capabilities

at these locations and will add a diesel offering to all fuel pumps at Crowfoot.

We appreciate your patience while we make these necessary upgrades.

Planning continues for our new stand alone gas bar in the northwest community

of Panorama Hills. The site is located on the corner of 14th Street and Panatella

Boulevard NW. Watch for updates in future issues of Co-op News.

Food Stores and Pharmacy NewsRenovations are now complete at North Hill, Brentwood and Village Square

centre pharmacies. All three centres now offer new prescription pick up and

drop off areas. Brentwood and Village Square also have a private consultation

room available where our pharmacists can talk with their customers about

health matters.

Planning continues for our new site in High River. The site is located on the

south side of town at the corner of 12th Avenue SE and 1st Street SE in the new

Montrose housing and commercial subdivision being constructed by Dundee

Developments. Our gas bar is slated to open in early 2011, with the food centre

opening in late 2012.

Did you know that in 1947, Bill Herron, a local

oilman, and his family wore white hats to the

Calgary Stampede Parade? His family won “best

dressed” that year and the demand for white

hats exploded.

Don Mackay, who was then the mayor of Calgary

and a fan of cowboy hats himself, decided to

present the white hats as gifts to visiting dignitaries.

Sixty years later, Smithbilt Hats continues to

make the famous white hats that are used

each year at the Honorary White Hat Awards

to recognize individuals and organizations that

have shown a long-term commitment to the

hospitality and tourism industry, and have

strengthened Calgary’s reputation as a world-

class city.

Calgary Co-op is proud to announce our winners
