Donation & Sponsorship Requests
ActionsOur Co-op was built to serve and grow our community. That’s why we return our profits to our members and support the causes and programs that matter to you.
A strong social conscience has always been part of how Prairie Sky Co-op operates. Our business has been built on a foundation of community involvement and service. We will run a strong, financially viable business that returns profits to our members and we invest in the communities in which we operate. We are part of your hometown and care about and support the causes that matter to you, your community and neighbouring communities.
