Co-op – equality for members

West Parkland Gas Co-op utilizes the cooperative principle of Democratic member control, or one member/one vote. Each customer is a member and owner of the business.  Each co-op member has an equal say as every other member of the cooperative. Members are encouraged to attend the co-op’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) where they can exercise their right to vote, for example on proposed bylaw changes or for members of the Board.  The AGM is typically held in the month of March or April.

Board Composition

Nine directors serve on the West Parkland Board. Each director is elected by and from the membership and each is elected for a 3-year term.
