An informational meeting to discuss a possible amalgamation between the Herbert Co-op and Pioneer Co-op took place last night, with a full crowd of approximately 125 people filling up the Lions Hall to listen to presentations, ask questions, and provide some feedback.

Stu Dyrland is the General Manager of Pioneer Co-op, and was happy to see the turnout and feedback from the members in attendence



Next step in the process will be a membership vote on October 20, if approved the merger would officially go through on January 29th of next year.
