operation is an offshoot of the consumer co cooperative ¬ operative movement familiar to most Canadians that is the banding together ofpeople with like interests in an effort to lower their buying and sel selling ¬ ling costs Its members think that much of current food market marketing ¬ ing is waste that their store housed in a former warehouse need not compete with chain stores that food retailing ought to be a ser vice not a business and that co operative success requires a bond of loyalty to the operation Rural co operatives have been part of Canadas farm marketing scene for decades but the success of urban retail co operatives has been spotty Co operatives require a spirit that cities dont seem to have says Jack McLachlen a marketing instructor at Ottawas Algonquin College and founding member of the Co operative Supply Depot CSD There isnt the same kind of co operative spirit the sense of belonging City friendships are by clan and not by neighborhood People in cities are alienated from each other he adds The current president of the nine member co cooperative ¬ operative board is Gordon Morriscey a civil servant employed in the federal Department of Industry Trade and Commerce The idea of co operatives just hasnt permeated urban thinking Cooperatives in Ontario anyway are rural oriented But the 15 families that founded CSD in 1964 have broken in an admittedly
