For 70 years, Calgary Co-op has been showing up for Calgary.
Today, nearly half a million members own this cooperative, supported by 3,800 employees who show up every day to serve their neighbours across our stores and businesses. Together, we steward $1.2 billion in assets on behalf of the cooperative and the members who own it.
Our Board of Directors plays an important role in that story. Elected by our members, Directors help guide the future of Calgary Co-op and the communities we serve.
The 2027 Director Election Nominations period has ended. Thank you to our members who submitted a nomination.

As a Calgary Co-op member-owner, you may vote in the Director Election each year. We all play an important role in electing members to our Board because a great Board is needed to oversee our growing cooperative. Together, as members, we make the final decision about who is elected.
The results of the 2027 Director Election will be announced at the AGM on April 22, 2027 and then on the website on April 23, 2027.
The Calgary Co-op Board wants to ensure its Directors have the competencies required to provide effective oversight of our complex co-operative. Therefore, the Board reviews its skills and identifies areas where knowledge gaps exist. The Board uses the gaps as a foundation for the skills it seeks from nominees running in the election.
“Recommended” candidates are those individuals who, after a thorough and independent review process, were assessed as having the best match of competencies that will further strengthen our Board. We use an independent consultant to create a fair and objective process.
