The future of the community co-op
will depend upon its investors
by Ron Wassink
GLENELG--The future of the Co-
op retail outlets in Bruce and Grey
counties may rest in the hands of
the stores' customers.
The newly -formed Grey, Bruce
District Co-operatives Inc., is hop-
ing the raise $750,000 of an esti-
mated $2.25 million needed to take
over the business. It hopes to raise
the money in a membership drive
that will see six Co-op outlets
become member -driven businesses,
rather than UCO owned.
The move is one way out for the
financially strapped ' United Co-
operatives of Ontario (UCO) to get
out of the retail business, but still
be involved as a wholesale supplier,
and to continue research and devel-
opment in feed products and crop
inputs.
John Black of Glenelg Township,
a former chair of the UCO, is
behind the new initiative.
He said the move to a member-
ship -owned business resulted from
as move by UCO to get out of the
retail end of the business. It wants
to sell Co-op mills and stores in the
province it owns; some are already
member -owned such as North Wel-
lington Co-op in Harriston and
Mount Forest, as 'are outlets in
Lucknow and Teeswater.
Black said all the UCO outlets in
Bruce and Grey are UCO -owned
and the Co-ops included in the new
Grey -Bruce Co-operative are Port
Elgin, Wiarton, Chesley, Owen
Sound, Kincardine and Markdale.
Mildmay, Belgrave and Auburn
are joining up with Teeswater. And
•Hanover and Durham Co-ops are
negotiating with North Wellington.
The final plan isn't known yet of
how the initiative will. affect com-
munities that have Co-op stores, but
Black said the plan is to "have a
presence" in those communities.
The central office will likely be in
Chesley and that's where the new
general manager, Doran Bryant will
work out of.
Before any of this happens,
though,. Black said one-third of the
$2.25 million balance sheet needs to
be raised through member loans.
People who invest money in the
new Grey -Bruce Co-operative will
receive 7 per cent interest for five
year loans, and 7.5 per cent for
eight years.
The initial- lifetime membership
fee is $100, plus there's a $400
member loan which will bear inter-
:st.
However, Black said he's hoping
quite a number of people will invest
more than the minimum $500. The
strength of the Co-op lies in having
many investors, rather than few, he
said. •
"Our investors will be our cus-
tomers. That's been the backbone
of the Co-op,"
Black said investing in the Co-op
is open to rural and urban people as
both sectors are valued customers.
In return for investing in the busi-
ness, he said profits will be
returned to the user/owners.
The expectation is to' have 40 to
45 member -owned Co-op stores
across Ontario.
Though Grey and Bruce cus-
tomers are only now being can-
vassed for their support, Black is
hopeful the Co-op will get the
1,000 member -investors he expects.
"There seems to be a lot of inter-
est in it. There's a need for Co -
Black's. interest in the Co-op goes
back Co 1956 when he joined the
Markdale branch. He served as
(JCO's chair from 1986 to 1989.
Today he continues to farm with his
family, and is also clerk -treasurer of
Glenelg Township,
"I saw the merger take place
when I first joined and now it's
(UCO) demerging."
To promote that end, the motto is:
"A proud tradition with a new
beginning".
Black is a faithful supporter
because of the democratic control
Co-ops offer and the principles
behind them. Members have one
vote in decisions, no matter how
much money they have invested. It
thereby gives a person with a
limited ability to invest some say in
the direction of the Co-op.
The Co-op also allows member -
owners to share in the profits in
proportion to the amount of busi-
ness they do with the Co-op. Black
calls it a "patronage dividend".
Though there is risk attached to
investing in the new venture, just
like any other investment, Black
said he "would like to think it's a
good investment. The security is in
running the business viably."
The goal is to have a good indica-
tion by the end of Mauch on
whether the Grey -Bruce Co-operat-
ive Inc. will succeed.
Members of the organizing com-
mittee are: John Black, Paul.
Ahrens, Chesley, Dennis Bridge,
Kincardine, Murray Ribey, Port '
Elgin, Larry Hambly, Wiarton, and -
Ken Mitchell, Owen Sound.
If you are interested in investing
in the new Co-op, please .call one
of the above, or drop into one of
the Co-op stores involved in the
initiative.
