Calgary Co-Op

On March 13, CETFA supporter Clint Robertson made a Motion at the Calgary Co-op’s AGM to phase out the sale and sourcing of eggs and pork produced using intensive confinement systems. The motion, which was successfully adopted by co-op members, will be implemented over the next five years at all 24 of the company’s stores.

If you are a member of your local Co-op, you too can make a motion. Co-ops are responsive to members, and as Clint showed, such actions can make an incredible difference in lives of Canada’s farm animals.

Clint has offered to share information and provide assistance to anyone interested in doing the same. Email us if you would like to contact him.
