The 2026 Election is open

Thank you for participating in your Co-op board elections! Members like you shape the future of our Co-op by considering who you want on your board – the board represents the members.

How to Vote

Voting Instructions

Only members can vote. Each person who has been a member for more than 30 days can cast one ballot.

We’re using an online voting platform and ballots have been sent by email. If you haven’t seen yours, please request one by clicking here. You can also vote in-person at Member Services.

A membership belongs to only one person. While those who live with the member can use their number at the tills, only the member can vote. If you’re not sure who is the member in your house, request a ballot or ask at Member Services.

Voting closes Monday September 21st, 11:45pm

The results will be announced and confirmed by the membership at the AGM on September 24th.
