Our History

Co-operatives have a long history of serving members in Western Canada. In the early 20th century, people worked together to create retail co-operatives in many towns in the four western Canadian provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia).

At Prairie Sky Co-op, we pride ourselves on our customer service. When you visit, we strive to make you to feel like “You’re at home here.”
