Our Community
The London Co-op Store is a community of like-minded people who share a vision of a better world in which communities are truly human-scale communities, self-sustaining, ethically minded, and environmentally and socially responsible.
Our sense of community can be seen in action right in the store, as member shoppers interact and socialize, greet each other as friends, catch up on family news, share tips on preparing the foods they are buying, and post information on the bulletin boards.
We also connect, communicate, socialize and network through the following means:
- potlucks and other social events
- members’ newsletter
- Facebook : as individuals and through our Facebook group
- members’ online discussion group (email list)
- blog announcements of Co-op and community news and events
- community connections to other organizations and the broader community, including the farmers
The London Co-op Store members’ online discussion group
The email list (online discussion group) at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LondonCoopStore/ is for members of The London Co-op Store natural food co-op in London, Ontario, to enable communication amongst members as well as to and from the board of directors.
The idea is to discuss any issues relating to the operation of the store, products carried, changes being considered, so that decisions can be made with sufficient input and discussion.
This list also serves to facilitate community-building and can be used to share thoughts and information, plan in-person get-togethers such as Co-op potlucks, and socialize online as individuals.
Feel free to strike up a conversation and make friends! Or to voice an opinion, a concern or a request regarding the Co-op.
To join the list, you must first be a member of the Co-op.
