History
The Co-operative Supply Depot of Kingston grew out of the Co-operative Supplies Depot of Ottawa and was begun in 1969. The Kingston Co-Op was a community affair based upon the Direct-Charge principle; that is, there was no markup on goods sold and the organization was kept going through a weekly service charge and through the quarterly purchase of inexpensive shares by each family unit. Directors were elected by the general membership, with each member having only one vote regardless of shares held, at an annual general meeting. Meetings of the general membership were held, on average, four times a year. Due to waning membership and rising costs the Co-operative Supply Depot ceased functioning in 1971.
