Director Brittany Bergevin Heads to Regina

“I hope I can make you all proud ” It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you that I have sat at my last board meeting for the Otter Co-op this past week. However, the news is not all bad. I am currently preparing to depart to “The Pile of Bones” otherwise known as the city of Regina. I will be attending the RCMP training academy Depot, in hopes of graduating to become a police officer. It is going to be a difficult six months away from home, and it could potentially be longer, but I will perservere. I have enjoyed my time on the board as both a Junior Director and as an Elected Director. I hope that as the Junior Director I did that position justice, and I thank the board and the membership for giving me the chance to prove myself as an elected official. I know that I have gained much knowledge that I would not have been able to receive elsewhere.

I have made countless friends in the

staff, board members, management, and others around the Cooperative system that I hope to maintain for a lifetime. Most importantly however, I have gained an appreciation for the Cooperative system as a way of doing business and life.

One thing that I ask is that you continue to put faith in young people.

Without being given that first chance, I know I would not be where I am today and I am grateful for that. The experience of being a director has given my life a quality that not many young people can attest to and I say thank you for that opportunity.

I appreciate all that you have given me over the years and I hope that I will make you all proud. If I do end up somewhere other than the lower mainland, I hope that that town has a Co-op so that I can share my appreciation for the Co-operative values elsewhere.

Armstrong Feed Mill

A Great Addition to Otter Co-op Otter Co-op is pleased to announce that the purchase of Interior Dairysource Feed Mill is complete! As of March 7, 2013, Otter Co-op purchased the assets of Interior Dairysource in Armstrong, BC; and began operating as Otter at Armstrong on March 8th. This feed mill operation fits in well with Otter Co-op’s feed division, as feed is a major component of our business, selling in excess of $33 million dollars this past fiscal year. The mill at Armstrong in its current configuration has the capacity to produce approx 25,000 tonnes of feed per year. To put it into comparison, our feed mill operation in Aldergrove produces approx 65,000 tonnes of feed per year. Otter Feed Division currently sells to farm accounts and consumers in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. And Otter also has a significant feed business with dealers and resellers all over BC, as well as to some dealers into Alberta. The purchase of the Armstrong facility will help increase capacity, as well as improve delivery efficiencies and offer us the opportunity to purchase ingredients more competitively with the increase in volume and access to rail. This is a great addition to Otter Co-op, and will reap benefits to the Co-op and our members for years to come!

If Yes, Otter Co-op Board of Directors is looking for you! Sense of Community, Business Acumen in helping direct a $170 million operation. If you are interested in running for the Otter Co-op Board of Directors you must have your Director Qualification Declaration signed by Wednesday, May 15, 5:00 pm to be eligible to run for a position at the May 29, 2013 Annual Meeting. Applications are available at the Administration Office. If you have any questions please call Merilee @ the Administration Office 604 607 6923.

President’s Message:

Spring is fast approaching! One only needs to see the wonderful display of garden seeds, seed potatoes, patio furniture and barbeques to get the feeling.

This also means that summer will come quickly.

As our General Manager alludes to in his Dorothy Anderson message, Otter Co-op has had another Board President great year, and we just keep growing and growing. March 2, 2013, marked our year-end with sales of just over $167 Million. As our Co-op is a member/owner of Federated Co-operatives Ltd., we are now in the #8 position of the 234 Co-ops, mostly in Western Canada, under the Cooperative Retailing System umbrella. We are very fortunate that Otter Co-op is very diversified as we have many different business units, such as Food, Hardware, Family Fashions, Pharmacy, Feed, and Petroleum, which includes our 5 Gas Bars and Bulk Petroleum. As well, our management team is always on the lookout for new opportunities that might work within our Co-op System. You, our members, can let us know if you think of anything we are missing. That is how our Pharmacy within the Retail Centre came into being.

Just recently, five of our Directors had the opportunity to attend the Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) Annual General Meeting held in Saskatoon. Senior Leadership Team Vice-Presidents updated us on the various departments that made up their $8.8 billion of sales in their last fiscal year.

Of this amount, $527 million will be allocated to the 234 member Co-ops as patronage refunds on their 2012 purchases from FCL. This then makes up a portion of the Patronage Dividends that we pay out to you, our members, every September.

As is always the case, FCL keeps the whole Co-op Retailing System updated and in turn emphasizing our “YOU’RE AT HOME HERE” tagline. Training of our staff (and Directors) is constantly happening at Otter Co-op. This is where our Co-op brand characteristics come in: FRIENDLY, TRUSTING, CARING, HONEST, PROUD, SUCCESSFUL, AUTHENTIC, and KNOWLEDGEABLE … coming straight from the book and we mean it.

Enjoy the coming months and remember “YOU’RE AT HOME HERE”. We are the hosts, you are the guests. We look forward to seeing you at the Co-op.

Congratulations to all our Winners!

March 2, 2013 marked the end of our fiscal year here at Otter Co-op, and what a grand way to end our 90th Year Anniversary! With strong community support from our members and shoppers, Otter achieved a new record for sales this past year, ending at $167,116,529; Jack Nicholson which is a 7.9% increase over the previous General Manager record set last year of $154,919,309. Fantastic results made possible by our dedicated team of directors and staff at Otter, as well as you, our loyal shoppers. I am very proud of our team and these results, especially given the past year of increased local competition, and competing with additional cross border shopping challenges.

March 2013 also marks the expansion of Otter Co-op’s successful Feed Division, as we complete the purchase of a feed mill operation in Armstrong, British Columbia. As of March 7th, the Interior Dairysource Feed Mill is now part of the Otter Co-op Feed operation, and fits in well with our position as a provincial feed company. Otter Co-op currently enjoys sales of our products to well in excess of 150 feed dealers throughout British Columbia, and there were many synergies between our two mills that made this a great marketing, sales and bottom line addition to our company. We are excited that this operation will bring bottom line savings to the feed operation immediately, as well as operational savings through improved purchasing opportunities on commodities that we currently use in our Aldergrove operation.

Other expansion projects currently in the works include our planned gas bar and convenience store on Highway 11 between Abbotsford and Mission; and a new cardlock, bulk plant, gas bar and convenience store in Chilliwack on Lickman Road. We continue to work through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for our project on Highway 11, and are planning to break ground on our Chilliwack site later this year.

These projects both fit in well with our plan for continued growth and success of our organization, adding additional sales and profits into the Coop. Your board and management and staff continue on a track record of fiscal responsibility balanced with sound marketing objectives, to ensure that we have continuous development and growth of our employees and the Co-op. I love that someone said Otter Co-op is rooted in history, is relevant and revered today, and positioned for tomorrow. It’s great to see what we’ve achieved this past year, and we are excited and looking forward to another record breaking year in the twelve months ahead of us. Our Annual Meeting is set for May 29th, be sure and mark your calendar to come out and hear the results achieved in each division this past year, as well as the exciting plans for the future.

See you at the Co-op!

Saskatoon Saskatchewan March 1-4/2013 Susan Dodd Otter Co-Op Director

As a new director I was able to attend this meeting as a delegate for Otter Co-op.

I learnt that no matter the size of the Co-op, challenges of the future will affect us all. Technology is an area that is growing at lightning speed, and Federated Co-op is making great strides to insure that every Co-op will embrace these changes. It was amazing to meet other delegates from all over western Canada who had similar concerns to us here at Otter.

The big box stores are everywhere and we need to evolve, but not forget our roots. The co-op brand and the re-branding of some of our products, with commitment to quality, will create value for our members and community.

On Sunday evening we had the opportunity to hear keynote speaker Mark Tewksbury (former Canadian

Olympic swimmer) talk about how business is similar to sports. He spoke about envisioning success, working towards that goal and having the commitment to become a winner, no matter where you are on the team. The bar is constantly being raised and by using the power of example we can inspire excellence in others.

Taking control of our destiny by investing in our future with marketing strategies and training of the next generation, Co-op's can continue on the path of growth, and retain the values that are important to us all.

“At Co-op you're at home here” Respectfully submitted, Susan Dodd OTTER CO-OP DIRECTOR
