On July 25th of this year the Board of Directors of the Shaunavon Co Op recommended a merger with Pioneer Co Op which would take effect on February 4th of 2018.

Since that time, members have received information and have also had the opportunity to attend information meetings and ask questions in September.

The Shaunavon Co Op will be holding a special meeting to discuss, and vote, on the possible merger.

Kevin Braun is the General Manager of the Shaunavon Co Op. He says, "A presentation regarding a proposed merger with Pioneer Co Op. And that'll take place on Tuesday October 17th at seven p.m. at Christ the King Church Hall here in Shaunavon."

Following the presentation there will be a question and answer period and then Shaunavon Co Op members can cast their vote.

Two thirds of the members present will need to approve the merger resolution in order for the merger to proceed.

Official results of that vote will be announced that evening once the votes are tabulated.
