Board of Directors Election 2026

Peninsula Co-op is 100% locally owned by our member-owners. Our members’ input is important to the long-term success of the Co-op.

Member-owners will be able to exercise their right to vote when the Co-op mails out election packages in May for the 2026 Election of Directors.  This year, the Co-op’s elections will be facilitated by Simply Voting Inc., a Canadian-based election services provider, and overseen by Baker Tilly Victoria Ltd., the Co-op’s auditors.

We are committed to maintaining fiscal responsibility in the distribution of election packages. Accordingly, member-owners will automatically receive an election package if they meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Participated in any of the past three annual Election of Directors.
• Joined Peninsula Co-op between April 2, 2023, and March 28, 2026.
• Received a T4A for their December 2025 rebate allocation.
• Purchased $750 or more at our Food Centre and Liquor Stores, or $1,500 or more at Peninsula Co-op Gas Centres from March 31, 2024, to March 29, 2025.

When member-owners receive their election package, it will include credentials and instructions to vote online.  Moving to an online election process reduces the print material required for the Co-op’s election, reduces costs, and makes for a more efficient election process. We recognize that not all members are able to vote online.  Any member-owner who does not wish to vote online can request a paper ballot by contacting Baker Tilly Victoria Ltd at 250.386.0500 during business hours.

We encourage all eligible voting member-owners to cast a ballot in the 2026 Election of Directors.  Any member-owner who does not automatically receive an election package in the mail can request one by contacting Baker Tilly Victoria Ltd at 250.386.0500 during business hours.

Mailed-in ballots must be postmarked June 5, 2026, or earlier, and must be received by Simply Voting Inc. processing centre in Montreal, QC, by end of business day on June 12, 2026 to be included in the ballot count. Ballots can also be dropped off at the office of Baker Tilly Victoria Ltd. #219-3155 Uptown Blvd, Victoria BC V8Z 0B9, by 4:00pm June 5, 2026.

Your vote is your voice. You’ll be helping to select three Directors who will work on your behalf and represent the interests of our 129,000 member-owners.

Election results will be announced at the virtual Annual General Meeting on June 24, 2026, and on Peninsula Co-op’s website before July 2026.
