2024 Fuel Good Day - September 17
ActionsOn Tuesday, September 17th, when you fuel up at Prairie North Co-op Gas Bars, we will donate 10¢ per litre sold to the volunteer fire department in Archerwill as this past Spring fire and smoke damage to their fire hall and equipment resulted in $800,000 damage. The Archerwill Fire and Protective Services covers the RM of Barrier Valley which includes a number of recreation areas where members from throughout our trading area have cottages and recreation properties. FUEL UP and FEEL GOOD knowing that you are helping us give back!
In 2017, Fuel Good Day was launched. During this one-day event, Co-op donates a minimum of five cents from every litre of fuel sold at participating Co-op gas bars to a local charity or non-profit organization. Fuel Good Day takes place in September at more than 400 CO-OP® gas bars throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. In the six years that it has been running, Co-op’s Fuel Good Day has raised more than $3.65 million for over 800 local organizations and was nominated for the Philanthropic Leadership Award from the Retail Council of Canada. Over the last six years Prairie North Co-op has donated almost $60,000 to local charities through the Federated Co-op Limited Fuel Good Day program.

ABOUT PRAIRIE NORTH CO-OP
Prairie North Co-op operates out of 25 locations – from St. Brieux, Spalding and Naicam in the west; to Melfort and Brooksby in the north; and Archerwill and Kelvington in the east. We serve our members with products and services that help build, feed, fuel and grow the communities in which we live and do business. As a co-operative, we are a different kind of business; we are not only working for our communities, but we are also owned by our community. Co-ops embed sustainability in their business by planning and investing for the long term, with the community and environment in mind; they work to create jobs; and they partner with other organizations and local businesses. Prairie North Co-op profits do not leave the community, they go back into it – and back to our members. We take pride in our community involvement and our commitment to providing quality products and services.
Prairie North Co-op employs 320 and serves 13,426 members. We continue the tradition of giving back, not only in patronage refunds to our members, but also through financial support to several local organizations. In 2023, sponsorship and donations totalled $153,000 to over 200 different organizations in our trading area.
Locally invested. Community-minded. Lifetime membership benefits. We are Co-op.
