Co-operatives choose Local First!
|
Did you know Fredericton Co-op has the largest
selection of local produce of any other major food retailer in the city?
Most of us only see the
workings of the Co-op system when we visit our local Co-op store or credit
unions, but co-ops play a big role behind the scenes. In supporting and working
with New Brunswick-based businesses and entrepreneurs we strengthen our entire
economy and standard of living.
Atlantic Canada's Co-op stores, which includes
Fredericton Direct Charge Co-op and the Co-op Country Store, is the only
business group that commits to Atlantic Canada's food production sector by
working with producers at every stage of the cycle: selling producers the seed,
feed and other products they need to grow their food; consulting with the
producers to ensure the best, healthiest product; and selling their food through
our Co-op stores.
Fredericton Co-op is committed to buying from local
suppliers and farmers, and we are pleased to share our success with small
business owners whose support has helped to add to the local and independent
distinction of Fredericton Co-op. A good example of this is the corn available
at the Co-op this season. Corn acreage and production in the greater Fredericton
area has decreased in the past two years and in order to ensure the Co-op has an
ample supply of high quality New Brunswick corn, the Co-op management made an
agreement to procure 10,000 dozen corn from a farmers group in Carleton county
so that Fredericton Co-op members would continue to have access to high quality
fresh NB grown corn. A similar relationship has been established with local
apple growers. In turn the Co-op ensures the farmers receive a fair price for
their product, it is about working together in co-operation. In addition to this
example, the Co-op works diligently to source local and New Brunswick grown
agricultural products whenever possible. This includes close relationships with
local vegetable, flowers, plant and beef producers.
New members are still welcome, drop in and see our
member relation's staff for information on becoming a member. For membership

Stay Safe in the Water this Summer
|
Here is some very important information on Water Safety provided by Child Safety Link:
 As
the weather gets warmer, we start to think about our favorite summer
activities. Taking a dip to cool off in a pool, ocean or lake may be
near the top of your family's list. When swimming or playing near water,
it is important for families to keep safety in mind.
Drowning is
the second most common cause of injury death for children in Canada.
For every toddler who drowns, three to five more children have a near
drowning where they have to be admitted to the hospital. Most toddler
drownings happen in home swimming pools.
Backyard pools should have a four foot high fence on all
four sides, with a self-latching gate. The house should not replace one
side of the fence. If self-latching gates are used, nearly all toddler
pool drownings and almost 1/3 of all toddler drownings could be
prevented.
There are many other ways parents can reduce the chance that a child could drown.
Parents should be right beside children under age 5 at all times, even if they are only playing near the water. Never leave a child alone in the bath, even for one second. Most infant drownings happen in the bathtub. Empty
all wading pools when they are not being used. A small child can drown
in as little as 1 inch of water (enough to cover the mouth and nose). Children
under the age of 3 and children who cannot swim should wear a properly
fitting life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD).
For more information about children's safety, visit Child Safety Link or call Jackie Thompson at (506)648-7991 |
