The Co-operative Canadian spirit
Co-operators was built by farmers to take care of themselves and their communities when traditional insurers would not meet their needs. This same co-operative outlook gave birth to things like credit unions and firefighting services in communities across Canada.
When Albert Savage, one of the original founders of Co-operators, described the company as “an acorn that will grow into one of the greatest oak trees of the co-operative movement”, he was expressing the aspirations of members, staff and clients.
Today, Co-operators has over a million clients across the country, but we always stay true to our roots and to the vision of a small group of Prairie farmers in 1945.
