Hornby Island Co-op was started in 1955 as a way for island residents to provide themselves with food, fuel, household and hardware goods at fair, reasonable prices. It was, and is still, a way to combine our community buying power and resources for common advantage. Our deep roots in the local community make us a uniquely Hornby organization.
