It's a Go!

With community support that can only be called amazing, the South Cariboo Meat Co-op has met and exceeded both of its near-term funding targets. We whole-heartedly thank all of our members for their investment in local food production in the South Cariboo. Reflecting our ongoing need to expand the membership and raise more capital, we will continue to welcome new members and additional investment in this worthy community project.

At the resumption of our AGM on April 12, with roughly one hundred members in attendance, a strongly supported motion was passed to proceed with the abattoir project. A full slate of seven Directors was elected to our Board and we will issue a more detailed update after the new Board meets on Friday, April 15.

Again, we thank everyone who has joined and invested in our Co-op. Please watch this space and related website for ongoing updates on our progress.

Greetings and Welcome to our new Members!

We wish to announce and/or remind our membership about a ‘Special General Meeting’ of the South Cariboo Meat Co-op. This meeting was arranged at our March 29 AGM, in conjunction with the agreed-upon extension of our fundraising deadline, and will take place at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, April 12th. Please note that the location has been changed to the Community Room of the 100 Mile House Library at 449 Birch Avenue.

By way of an update on our fundraising, we are pleased to say that the community response has been nothing short of amazing. Acknowledging that, we would like to take this opportunity to thank every one of you for your support. With applications and cheques coming in seemingly continuously, we can say with confidence that we are very close to meeting our target. However, we encourage you to keep ‘talking it up’ with your neighbours and friends. With a final push right up to our deadline on Tuesday we should be in great shape.
