A year has passed since we last saw the smiling face of our Administration Ace, Matthew Jestin. We fondly remember his excitement, thoughtful kindness, quick wit and humour. It was always a treat to hear a customer try to recall the person whom helped them in our office, expressing it was the gentleman with the epic moustache - that made it clear. Matthew's greater impact within the Co-op, the community, and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him was indeed legendary. In Matthew's honour and memory, the Co-op is making a $1,000 contribution to a society dear to him, the Kootenay Animal Assistance Program (KAAP) www.kaap.ca - Thank you for being a part of our team and our lives, Matthew. You will be missed.

You may have seen these dispensers at our Co-op gas bars in Slocan Park, Castlegar, Nelson, and our newest Co-op site in Glenmerry. These are EcoTank windshield washer dispensing systems, and our Co-op sites are among the very first locations in our region to offer them to our members.

Using simple tap-to-pay or chip-and-pin with your credit or debit card, you have easy access to washer fluid to refill your automobile washer bottle, or your own storage jugs. The cost of the washer fluid per litre is comparable to that of the all season product found in an off-the-shelf jug, and you’re only charged for what you dispense.

Since the systems came online just last month we have diverted over 115 jugs from local recycling and landfill, reducing nearly 14kg of plastic. By investing in these new dispensers and encouraging their use, we can all make a significant difference in reducing unnecessary plastic in the care for our communities!

Let's just take a moment to appreciate the good things. Today we congratulate Rick Fleurbaaij from our Castlegar Petroleum Department, and thank him for providing us with 5 years of great service! Rick is our Senior Driver Supervisor, supporting the team in Castlegar with a strong mindset for safety and an excellent customer experience in our delivery of petroleum and lubricant products to our valued members and customers.

Save the date and roll in with your rig on empty!

This coming Tuesday, September 16 is Fuel Good Day when our Co-op will donate 10 cents for every litre sold at our gas bar locations in Slocan Park, Nelson, Castlegar, and Glenmerry to the local food banks in our area.

Last year, all Co-op members and customers in Western Canada raised more than $700,000 for 200 local organizations and causes - the largest amount raised in a single Fuel Good Day so far! Since its launch in 2017, Fuel Good Day has raised more than $4.9 million dollars. Those funds have supported hundreds of organizations across Western Canada, including food banks, firefighter associations, healthcare organizations, community centres, animal shelters, schools, sports clubs and so many more.
