President’s Report Prairie Sky Coop has had another busy spring and summer starting with Equity Days in June where we paid out $3.8 million to our membership in cash. We are currently in the process of seeing the completion of a new Federated Coop Bulk Fuel Tank Farm with a capacity of 4.3 million litres that will serve Weyburn and surrounding communities. The project is in the testing and filling stage and will be in use shortly. This winter we will likely see the removal of the old bulk plant. As the summer months end we are happy to report Del Croissant another successful year of deck promotions that go directly to support many nonprofit organizations throughout the city. We are proud of the commitment we have made to the many organizations as we continue to adhere to our motto of “Community Builder. Please feel free to visit our web site: www.prairieskycoop.com.

General Manager’s Report
Fall is upon us and looking back I often wonder “Where did the summer go?”. For some reason summer this year seemed to pass extremely quickly for me. I don’t know if it’s because we’re just getting busier, older, or a combination of both. My grandchildren always look forward to summer and had an especially busy one this year. They felt that it was a very good summer, so taking the information from them I will also assume it was a very good summer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our members for their strong support over the past years Don Kraft which allows us to continue to expand our services within our community and continue to provide equity and cash back at record levels to our members. We’re very proud of the accomplishments that Prairie Sky Co-op has made over the past year with a particular one of those being listed again as one of the Top 100 Companies in Saskatchewan, moving our rank from number 80 in 2014 to number 70 in 2015! This 10 position improvement in ranking certainly bodes well for your organization and for its strength. I also want to thank our employees for their hard work, dedication, and efforts in making this co-op your preferred choice to do business. A special thanks to all of the staff that go the extra mile to ensure that we meet or exceed our customers’ expectations and welcome them back on a continuing basis. As we go into the fall, we begin our planning process for 2016 and beyond. The Board of Directors and the management team will have their planning sessions over the course of the next couple months, which will assist in setting the direction for your cooperative, not only for 2016, but into 2020. I encourage the members to talk to our management, employees, and board members to provide input so we can better plan for our members’ needs. In closing, I want to thank the Board of Directors for their dedication, vision, and guidance in directing our cooperative to meet not only the existing needs, but future needs of our members, our community, and our employees.
