Another million-dollar year for Naujaat Co-op members

Outgoing Naujaat Co-op president Pio Kopak had excellent news for members at the annual general meeting held Nov. 24 – $1 million is returning to members’ accounts by way of dividends.

“As the president of the Co-op, it’s exciting for me to see the people shopping at the Co-op receive their patronage pay-back,” Kopak said.

Kopak, a heavy equipment operator with the Hamlet, has been president for roughly four years. He started out as a regular board member when he was first nominated, then became vice-president for a couple of years. He’s just been reelected to the board. Elections for the executive will take place at the first meeting.

“I like being a board member with the Naujaat Co-op because I like to help people. I like helping the community,” he said.
