Burnaby Consumer Services Co-operative began in the fall of 1980 when a few members of the recently closed Community Consumers Co-op met to discuss ways they could continue to buy co-operatively.

Led by Helen Marsen, Stuart McBurnie, Lin Latham, Tom Frietas, and Bob Smith, they decided to form a co-operative buying club, wrote a set of by-laws, and after many meetings submitted it to the Registrar of Co-operatives The Co-op was incorporated on January 19th, 1981 and placed its first order in February. Combined net savings from that first order was 1.52!.

The Wood Co-op offers marketing services to those woodworking businesses across B.C. that are associated with the Co-op's participating member organizations.

Our most prominent initiative yet is the operation of a retail establishment in Vancouver, B.C. that conveys an image of upscale wooden arts and crafts and allows customers and visitors to appreciate fine woodworking and craftsmanship in B.C. The retail outlet sells fine wood-based home furniture and furnishings as well as home accents, giftware and accessories.

What makes our members walk through the doors of The Kootenay Co-op … again and again and again? They see a thriving, natural food co-op, much more impressive than one would expect in a City of 10,000 people.

Over the last 29 years the Co-op has worked with members, customers, service organizations, suppliers, staff and board to create a store we are proud of. In this way, we continue to learn and grow and foster the commitment of our members and the larger community. Fortunately for us all, this is really only the beginning of something truly amazing
