Since 1915, when forming a co-operative was first proposed, our forthright and courageous farmers, never wavering in their commitment to each other or to the community, have taken one bold step after another.  Each decision they made was in the spirit of co-operation for the benefit of everyone involved. The Wetaskiwin Co-operative Association is one of their legacies - one that their families and our community can look upon with pride.

Their tradition of co-operation has endured for more than ninety-two years and is our guiding light into the new millennium.
