Our Organization

OUR Organization

Our organization - Embrun Co-op - is a co-operative located in the heart of Eastern Ontario which serves its clients in both official languages. It offers products and services through its eight divisions. It is owned by its members who have chosen to join in order to share in the benefits of co-operation.

OUR DIVISIONS

Though we operate seven different divisions, synergy is a concept we take very seriously. Our team members are encouraged to seek and share skills and knowledge among each other. This synergy helps to ensure continued growth and sustainability across the whole of Embrun Co-op.

OUR IMAGE

When the new branding was designed, it was important to us that the image supported the past, present, and future of our organization - Embrun Co-op.

The shape of the logo is a shield symbolizing strength and co-operation. The top of the shield represents the roof under which it is possible to come together, as a family does, for important events.

In the center of the shield is an image of a cob of corn and/or a stem of barley representing the heart of the Co-op. It also acts as a hyphen for the English version of the word « Co-op » thus representing the bilingualism of our region.

The silhouettes represent those who are most important to Embrun Co-op: its members, customers, employees, and partners while the leaves represent agriculture, an important part of the Embrun Co-op.

In short, our new logo was designed to evoke the strength of co-operation as well as its rich history and the importance of its members, customers, employees, and partners for Embrun Co-op.

The colours selected play a significant role in supporting the meaning as a whole. The blue is symbol of truth, like crystal clear water that hides nothing. This colour is generally pleasing to all generations and it brings to mind the loyalty of its members and employees.

The yellow, a colour of openness and social contact, is often associated with friendship and fraternity as well as knowledge. It brings to mind the importance of Embrun Co-op for the community.
