Otter Co-op Membership

Co-op offers lifetime membership benefits, including the promise of high-quality products and services at competitive prices. Members can participate in the democratic process at their local association’s annual meeting, which includes asking questions, proposing/voting on resolutions, becoming a board member and electing board members.

Members are owners and therefore, receive a portion of any profits earned by their local co-operative association. Over the past five years, local associations across Western Canada have returned almost $1.4 billion to their members.

The amount members potentially receive is based on a percentage of their purchases throughout the year, which is distributed in two ways: annual cash back or equity. Like a savings account, every member has an equity account that grows over time. Decisions and policies on profit-sharing are made locally and vary between co-operative associations.

Membership Benefits

For a one-time fee of $10, you can earn the following perks:

• Cash and Equity Rewards based on our profits and your yearly purchases
• Voting Rights at our Annual General Meeting regarding our Board of Directors and Rules
• One of our fellow co-ops, the Co-operators, offers an Insurance Member Benefits Program to other co-op members, which gives you access to some free and discounted endorsements, providing you with more coverage at a reduced cost
