Membership
A different kind of business
Neerlandia Co-op is a different kind of business.
And that difference begins with membership.
We’re more than just a place to shop.
We’re a business built to support our community and meet the needs of our members.
At Co-op, membership isn’t a rewards program. It means you own part of your local co-operative association.
As an owner, you have the ability to participate in the democratic decision-making process by asking questions, voting on resolutions, electing board members or even sitting on the board yourself.
Among its other qualities, Co-op is Locally Invested, is Community Minded and offers Lifetime Membership Benefits.
You don’t need to be a member to shop at Co-op, but you’ll be missing out on the benefits of belonging to our business!
Become a Member
Neerlandia Co-op offers lifetime membership benefits, including the promise of high-quality products and services at competitive prices. Everyone is welcome to shop at a Co-op location and everyone is invited to become a Co-op member.
Members are owners.
They have the ability to participate in the democratic process at their local association’s annual meeting, which includes asking questions, proposing/voting on resolutions, becoming a board member and electing board members.
Our profits are your profits.
As owners, members also receive a portion of any profits earned by their local co-operative association. Over the past five years, local associations across Western Canada have returned almost $1.4 billion to their members.
The amount members potentially receive is based on a percentage of their purchases throughout the year, which is distributed in in two ways: annual cash back or equity. Like a savings account, every member has an equity account that grows over time. Decisions and policies on profit-sharing are made locally and vary between co-operative associations.
Join the Neerlandia Co-op family!
Co-op membership offers you a lifetime of rewards including annual cash back and an equity account that grows over time.
This makes Neerlandia Co-op a different kind of business, our profits are your profits and they are invested back into the community through you.

History of Our Association
Serving you since 1922.
Co-operatives have a long history of serving members in Western Canada. In the early 20th century, people worked together to create retail co-operatives in many towns in the four western Canadian provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia).
June 30, 1922 marks the date that the Neerlandia Co-operative Association was officially incorporated. 95 years have passed since approximately 39 settlers decided to co-operate and start a business that could supply them with the basic necessities of life. We wonder if any of those early settlers ever imagined that the co-operative they started would become the thriving business it is today.
In June 2013, a fire took down the Home & Farm Center section of Neerlandia Co-op. We didn’t let that stop us! Within a month of the fire we were up and running in the old Service Center, doing our best to serve the community. Our new Home Center location opened March 13, 2015 and we are getting settled in and look forward to a long future there! In the Spring of 2016 a new chapter of the Neerlandia Coop began. The new food store, liquor store and restaurant opened attached to the home center. All of the services that we offer to our customers are now based in one convenient location and we look forward to serving our customers and the communities that they call home for many years to come!
We pride ourselves on our customer service and invite you to visit our location. When you visit, we strive to make you to feel like “You’re at home here.“
