Calgary really comes alive in the summer; it’s the season that offers something for everyone.

If you are a person who enjoys a peaceful, backyard barbeque with a few close friends or someone who prefers fireworks and festivals surrounded by many, you can enjoy both in Calgary and we have plenty of suggestions for you and your family. See Events on page 4.

If you are staying in town with the kids this summer, you will want to plan a day trip, pack a picnic and head down to the new Calgary Co-op Kids Zone at the Calgary Zoo. The entire family is sure to enjoy watching the menagerie of colourful animals passing by on the new children’s carousel. Pictures on page 5.

Barbeque in the backyard or picnic in the park, whichever you choose this summer, Calgary Co-op has everything you need to make your summer delicious! From marinated meats to perfectly ripened fruits, it’s all in store for you today. See page 6 for some tasty ideas. Enjoy!

During September and October, your Calgary Co-op board of directors will be hosting our annual Meet Your Directors events in all Calgary Co-op food centres.

This event gives you, our member-owners, an opportunity to talk with us and to ask

Planning is also underway for our 54th annual general meeting to be held on March 9, 2011, as well as for the director election. This year, we are seeking qualified candidates for three board positions, all for three year terms. We encourage any member who is considering standing for election for the board of directors to obtain a copy of the 2011 Director Election Handbook, which will be available in Calgary Co-op food centres and on www.calgarycoop.com starting mid-September. The handbook

provides important information about the role of a director, eligibility, the nomination process, important deadlines for the election, and other important dates. Information will also be published in the fall and winter editions of Co-op News.

Your board also looks forward to seeing many of our senior members at our annual Seniors’ Day event at Heritage Park on August 24. See page 5 for event and ticket information.

On behalf of the Board of Directors

Stuart Cantrill, Board Chair

From our CEO It’s one thing to talk about doing our best to provide our member-owners with outstanding service, quality products, superior facilities and exceptional value, but we also deliver on this promise.

We take pride in our employees and the excellent customer service they provide every day, so it is no surprise that two of our employees, Carmela Russo and Kirstie Davies, recently won White Hat awards. Carmela was honoured with the Mayor’s White Hat Award, an achievement over and above all categories, while Kirstie received a coveted White Hat Award for Retail Service Excellence. We congratulate them on their achievements and

also extend congratulations to all of our other employees who were nominated for a White Hat Award this year (see page 10).

In addition to providing excellent customer service, we recognize that our member-owners expect us to provide great quality products at a great price and to support Canadian growers at every opportunity, which we do well. For example, naturally grown and ripened tomatoes are delivered to our stores within 24 hours of being picked at Paradise Hill Farm in Nanton. Being locally owned allows us to seek out the freshest products for delivery to our stores as soon as they become available.

We are also committed to providing you with the best fresh quality products and grocery variety at a competitive price. The weekly price checks we conduct of our main competitors confirms that our prices are the same and, in many cases, better than their prices. See page 9 for a summary of our weekly price checks during June. When you shop at Calgary Co-op, you not only support a locally owned company, you are assured of getting fresh quality products at a great price!

Event s Calgary Co-op Golf Classic Committee L-R: Colin Donoghue, Heather Desouki, Trinh Bui, Gina Hutchens, Onanta Forbes, Mario Perrier, Sarah Boutron, Wendy Bulbuck

A Hole in One !

Calgary Co-op hosted its 17th Annual Charity Golf Classic on June 9th at Heritage Pointe Golf and Country Club. The Fan 960’s Mike Richards and team got the morning started by broadcasting their morning show, live from Heritage Pointe. This year’s tournament began with dark skies and high wind warnings. Within a couple of hours it was really raining hard, but the torrential rain and raging wind couldn’t dampen the spirits of our dedicated golf teams. Many golfers braved all 18 holes! Thank you to Fan 960 and our golfers for making this day a success.

Calgary Co-op Whole H ea l t h C h a l l en g e Congratulations to all of the participants in this year’s Calgary Co-op Whole Health Challenge! Over 1,400 members signed up for the 12 week challenge with goals of making healthy lifestyle choices to improve their overall health and fitness levels. The successes and achievements of the participants were incredible! Each participant completed six minichallenges, and many attended motivational seminars on goal setting such as exercise, running, walking and smoking cessation. Our pharmacies worked with participants to chart their progress and to keep everyone motivated. Our Grand Finale was held at the Olympic Oval on May 8th with gold, silver and bronze medals awarded in both the men and women categories along with some fantastic prizes. A medal was also awarded to the winner of the Calgary Co-op Employee category.

Thank you to all of our participants and partners in the Calgary Co-op Whole Health Challenge, including the Calgary Weight Management Centre, The Running Room, Calgary Flames, CrossFit Calgary, Optimum Performance Training, Allegro Cheese, Pfizer, Olympic Oval, University of Calgary, Team Tri Life, Calgary Herald, Westjet, Healthwave Diagnostechs, XL 103 FM, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies and CTV. Be sure to watch for the next Calgary Co-op Whole Health Challenge, which promises to be bigger and better in 2011!

Our tournament raised over $230,000 bringing the grand total raised since 1993 to over $3.3 million! This year’s recipients are the Calgary Zoological Society for the new Calgary Co-op Kids Zone and the Alberta Children’s Hospital for their Bring in the Clowns program.

On behalf of everyone at Calgary Co-op, we extend a special thank you to all of the sponsors who made this event possible. Without their help and continuing support, we simply would not be able to raise the outstanding amount of funds we do for deserving local charities. Thank you as well to the professional staff at Heritage Pointe, and to our hardworking Golf Classic Committee and other volunteers for putting on such a fun and worthwhile event.

Thrill to Grill

When it’s hot outside, you want to keep it cool inside, so forget pre-heating the oven and get fired up to grill outdoors. This summer, barbequing has never been easier thanks to Calgary Co-op. On your way home from work, or before you have to pick up the kids, just stop by your favourite Calgary Co-op and choose from a fabulous selection of our delicious marinated or seasoned grilling items.

You can have roasted red pepper chicken kabobs on Monday, fresh western Canadian 100% beef burgers on Tuesday and Greek pork back ribs on Wednesday.

With 27 varieties, your meal possibilities are endless!

Look for these great selections in the meat department at your local Calgary Co-op Centre.

S u p p o r t C a n a d i a n G r o w ers a n d P r o d u c er s Because what we eat is a fundamental part of our lives, Calgary Co-op is committed to supporting Canadian growers and producers. Our bold, new signs will help you choose Canadian products and support local growers and producers.

J u s t A dd Fr u i t There is nothing better on a hot summer day than grazing on the multitude of fresh fruit that is available only during these warm months. At Calgary Co-op, we realize that the quality of your summer fruit is paramount, so we’re bringing the fruit stand to you! Our fruit stand houses delectable cherries, juicy peaches and sweet nectarines, just to name a few. And while these beauties are more than appetizing on their own, try the following recipe with stone fruit fresh from Calgary Co-op.

Grilled Peach, Plum & Nectarine Salsa 1 peach, pitted 1 plum, pitted 1 nectarine, pitted 1-2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed and seeded 1/4 cup minced red onion 2 tablespoon minced cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice Cut each piece of fruit into 8 slices. Place fruit and jalapenos on a well-oiled grill over medium heat and cook for a few minutes on each side to lightly char. Let cool, then chop and place in a medium bowl with onion, cilantro and lime juice. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
