THE BATTLEFORDS - Discovery Co-op has announced they are bringing back Fuel Good Day on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
On that day, anyone who fills their gas tank at Discovery Co-op gas bars in North Battleford and Battleford will see Discovery Co-op donate six cents per litre of the fuel purchased to the Battlefords Indian and Métis Friendship Centre.
Discovery Co-op is also donating one dollar from every cup of co-op coffee, Big Cool slush and or car washes purchased that day. Since starting Fuel Good Day in 2017, Discovery Co-op has donated over $25,000 to local non-profit organizations including BUH Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Battlefords Canadian Mental Health Association.
Fuel Good Day is held at over 400 co-op gas bars throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario each year in support of a local community organization or initiative. Since 2017, nearly $1.9 million has been raised and invested across Canada.
“Our community is stronger today because of the contributions people are making,” said Mike Nord, general manager of Discovery Co-op in a news release. “We continue our efforts to serve our co-op members and customers, while also supporting initiatives that benefit the communities we serve.”
