The Co-op is a charitable organization, but is not a registered charity or a non-profit.  It is run by a volunteer Board of Directors.  It owns the properties at 2655 Main Street, 185 East 11th Avenue, and the 11th Avenue parking lot.  The income of the Co-op is earned by leasing these properties.
 
The Co-op uses its income to maintain the properties, and to support organizations in the area such as Mount Pleasant Branch 177 Royal Canadian Legion, Saint Patrick School, Sir Charles Tupper School, Seaforth Highlanders Cadets, and many other charitable organizations.
 
What is a Cooperative?
 
A Cooperative is much like an ordinary corporation, except:
  • A Cooperative is formed for a common good, or specific goals
  • Each member gets only one vote, regardless of how many shares they own
  • Members receive limited or no return on capital subscribed to as a condition of membership (Cooperative Association Act s. 8(2)(d))
Objects of the Co-op

The objects of the Co-op, as per its Memorandum of Association (which can be seen in Corporate Documents at left) include:
  • To build, construct or acquire by purchase or lease or otherwise, and to operate in the Mt. Pleasant area in the City of Vancouver a building or buildings as a war memorial centre;
  • In connection with such building or buildings, to lease the whole or any part thereof to, or to contract with any person, persons or corporations for the carrying on of any lawful business upon the premises owned or operated by the Association
  • To raise and administer funds for any charitable purpose;
  • To promote, sponsor and operate in or out of such building or buildings any form of entertainment of an artistic, musical or sporting nature
Shareholders
 
We have lost contact with many of our shareholders, because they have moved without updating their contact information, or they have passed away and their heirs were unaware of their share in the Co-op.
