Calvin worked his way up from gas jockey and has trained for, and held, several positions along the way - Hardware Manager, Petroleum Driver, Feed Manager, Agro Manager, Branch Manager and now General Manager. It has become a lifelong passion of his to see our Co-op grow in all three of our local communities; Marquette, Elm Creek and Starbuck.

The amalgamation of Elm Creek and Marquette Co-ops was an exciting time and gave Calvin the opportunity to work with a whole new team of people and membership in Elm Creek.  He is grateful to those communities for their warm welcome and continued support.

The Administration Team

Administration Manager- Sherri Bergen

Sherri has been with the Co-op at the Elm Creek Location since June 2017. She did, however, start married life working at a different Co-op so she feels Co-op has been in her blood for a while. Sherri was a stay-at home mom while her 2 children were young, She provided child care for 2 amazing neighbor girls, taught piano lessons, took a term position at BDO Dunwoody and began a 13 year career with CIBC where she managed branches in Elm Creek, Holland and Treherne.

Since returning to Co-op, Sherri has enjoyed the opportunity to work for a business whose heart and soul is “community”. She feels that a wide variety of employment in the past has prepared her for the ever expanding opportunities our growing Co-op has.

Sherri enjoys being part of an organization that is working towards a stronger, more diverse Co-op.  Since amalgamating in 2019, our Co-op has more to offer our members with the 3 locations of Marquette, Starbuck and Elm Creek and the same small town values that have made us successful in the past will also make us successful going forward. Being a part of such growing change excites Sherri and she looks forward to what direction our Co-op will have going forward.

Sherri's role in the association is to support our customers and staff and to help develop and streamline processes and procedures that help our Co-op to be more efficient in achieving the goals and vision that have been set.   

When she is not in the office, Sherri enjoys being outside, walking, kayaking, and chasing Northern Lights. She loves spending time with friends and family. Hwe children are both married with kids and she loves watching their families grow.
