Calgary Co-op—which counts 400,000 members—held its annual general meeting on April 23, where a proposal was raised by member Trent Cherak for the retailer to provide a written statement regarding plans to hire a permanent CEO.
In October 2024, Ken Keeler departed Calgary Co-op as chief executive and Lisa Swartzman was tapped to lead the company in the interim.
She departed the co-operative in November 2025 as board chair Ken White was appointed to the role of executive chair.
At the AGM, the Calgary Co-op board agreed to provide a written statement “acknowledging this matter, identifying why a permanent CEO has not yet been found since Ken Keelor’s departure, and outlining a plan and reasonable timeline for hiring a new CEO.”
In January, Calgary Co-op announced plans to close its food stores in Hamptons and Sage Hill as well as the Hamptons Wine Spirits Beer and Cannabis locations.
