“Thank you to our members and customers for the support you’ve shown during Fuel Good Day. Once again, it’s amazing to see what we can accomplish when we all work together.”
Co-op Fuel Good Day was celebrated at more than 400 Co-op Gas Bars throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, with each local Co-op supporting a community organization or initiative.
Since its launch in 2017, Co-op locations across Western Canada have donated more than $3 million to over 700 local organizations as part of Co-op Fuel Good Day.
The total result from across Western Canada for 2023 will be released in early October and will be available on www.fuel.crs, along with the complete list of supported organizations.
