Mark Your Calendars for Fuel Good Day on September 16th!

Join us at Pembina Co-op's Souris Gas Bar & Convenience Store for our annual Fuel Good Day on Tuesday, September 16th! This year, we are proud to announce that all funds raised will go to the Souris Cooperative Daycare.

For every litre of fuel you purchase, we’ll donate 10 cents to support the daycare. Plus, for every Co-operative Coffee and Big Cool Slush you buy, we’ll contribute $1.

Supporting Childcare Expansion in Souris

The Souris Cooperative Daycare provides essential childcare services for families in our community. But right now, they are at capacity and have a growing waitlist of families eager to join. The demand for childcare has never been greater, and the daycare knows an expansion is needed to meet the needs of new and existing families.

Three years ago, plans for a new build began to take shape, but when the local school board received government approval for its own expansion project, the daycare put their plans on hold. Unfortunately, they were recently informed that this proposal has been cancelled, leaving them once again looking at how to take on the project themselves.

“Every contribution brings us closer to making the expansion happen,” says Stacie Murphy, “We’ve felt a major need to expand with our community’s childcare demand. Expanding our space will mean more children can access safe, nurturing, and educational care close to home.”

The daycare is in the early stages of exploring what is possible, from choosing a feasible size, to identifying a location, to working through all the steps it will take to make this project a success for our community’s youngest learners.

Lunch BBQ Fundraiser

If you're planning on fueling up at lunch, don’t miss out on a fundraiser BBQ hosted on-site! Grab a burger, chips, and a drink for just $10, with proceeds supporting a local community group. The BBQ will run from 11 AM — 2 PM.
