You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Calgary Co-operative Association Limited''' (commonly referred to as '''Calgary Co-op''') is a retail [[cooperative]] operating in [[Calgary, Alberta]], [[Canada]].

==History==
Opened in the 1940s as a food store operated by the [[United Farmers of Alberta]] in Calgary and eventually changing hands to the Alberta Co-operative Wholesale Association (ACWA) in 1951, the Calgary Co-operative Association was founded to operate the Calgary food store independently of the ACWA, partially due to member dissatisfaction with how the ACWA managed the venture.<ref name="50th">((Cite web|last=|first=|date=2011-03-16|title=Calgary Co-op 50th Anniversary Publication|url=https://issuu.com/calgaryco-op/docs/coop50th|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812200005/http://issuu.com/calgaryco-op/docs/coop50th |archive-date=2011-08-12 |access-date=2021-01-22|website=ISSU|page=8))</ref>  The Calgary Co-operative Association purchased the Calgary store from ACWA in 1956 for $58,000.<ref name="50th" />

==Present operations==
As a member of [[Federated Co-operatives]] (FCL), Calgary Co-op has over 440,000 members, 3400 employees, assets of $441 million and annual sales over $1 billion. Calgary Co-op provides services in food, petroleum, home health care, pharmacy and cannabis. 

In August 2019, it was announced that Calgary Co-op had entered into an agreement for its groceries to be supplied by the Alberta arm of the [[Overwaitea Food Group]] (owner of commercial competitor [[Save-On-Foods]]) beginning in April 2020. The organisation stated that this change would "better serve members and ensure long-term sustainability". Calgary Co-op's [[High River]] grocery store will not be part of this change and will continue to be supplied by FCL, as will its petroleum and convenience store operations. FCL criticized Calgary Co-op's decision to switch to a private company as supplier, with its CEO Scott Banda stating that it was "sad to see them moving away from the Co-op family they've helped build".<ref>((Cite web|url=https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-co-op-to-switch-food-supplier-to-save-on-foods-1.4567303|title=Calgary Co-op to switch food supplier to Save-On-Foods|date=2019-08-27|website=CTV News Calgary|language=en|access-date=2019-08-30))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://calgaryherald.com/business/local-business/calgary-co-op-to-source-groceries-from-save-on-foods-analyst-calls-move-a-major-transformation|title=Calgary Co-op to source groceries from Save-On-Foods|work=Calgary Herald|date=2019-08-26|language=en|access-date=2019-08-30))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://thestarphoenix.com/news/local-news/fcl-disappointed-by-calgary-co-ops-decision-to-pull-food-purchasing|title=FCL ‘disappointed’ by Calgary Co-op's decision to pull food purchasing|work=Saskatoon StarPhoenix|last=MacPherson|first=Alex|date=2019-08-08|language=en|access-date=2019-08-30))</ref> 

With the change, the chain migrated to two private label brands, "Founders & Farmers" —which is positioned as a value-oriented brand, and "Cal & Gary's"—which is positioned as a premium brand with nods to local culture and humour. Both brands emphasize the involvement of local producers where applicable.<ref>((Cite web|last=Maria|first=Vasco|date=2020-09-18|title=Calgary Co-op launches two new brands with a focus on buying and eating locally made foods|url=https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-co-op-launches-two-new-brands-with-a-focus-on-buying-and-eating-locally-made-foods-1.5110807|url-status=live|access-date=2021-07-13|website=CTV News Calgary|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922133001/https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-co-op-launches-two-new-brands-with-a-focus-on-buying-and-eating-locally-made-foods-1.5110807 |archive-date=2020-09-22 ))</ref><ref>((Cite web|date=2020-06-26|title=Calgary Co-Op Launches Unique Hyper-Local Private Brands|url=https://retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2020/06/calgary-co-op-launches-unique-hyper-local-private-brands/|access-date=2021-07-13|website=Retail Insider|language=en-US))</ref>
