14 -Terrace Review — Wednesday, March 30, 1988 ‘New general manager takes helm at Co-op ~ The Terrace Co-op recently welcomed their new general manager Lawrence Goséelin, who takes the position that has been vacant for eight months. by Betty Barton Gosselin comes to Terrace from the Federated Co-op in _ Calgary, where he worked: for three years. ‘I prefer a small town atmosphere; I love out- doors, skiing and fishing,’ Gosselin remarked. He arrived in Terrace on March 14, so he hasn’t had an opportunity yet to get acquainted with the area. This is a permanent position, so he’ll have lots of time to get in- volved in the community, “‘! may join a club, once I’ve had a chance to see who’s doing what and where I might fit in,’’ he said. Gosselin has been with the Co-op organization for the last 20 years. He started as a grocery clerk in the Melford, Saskat- chewan store, one of the 350 Co- ops in the four western pro- vinces. Prior to his job in Calgary, Gosselin was with the Co-op in Duncan on Vancouver Island. When asked what brought him to Terrace, he responded: ‘‘the challenge.” The Terrace Co-op is sponsor- ing a Miss Terrace Pageant con- testant again this. year, and Gosselin recently attended the organization meeting for that event. The Co-op is already a Chamber of Commerce member and Gosselin will be attending their meetings. He said he has many plans for changes and im- provements for the Terrace Co- op, but these are still being discussed with Department managers and there may be some announcements about them later in the spring. The Terrace Co-op’s year end was on Jan. 31, with the books showing 1987 as a good year. They’re budgeting for a better year this year, although many major union contracts are up for renewal in this area. The out- come of those will directly affect the business at the Co-op. The Co-op itself has only one union — the meatcutters. But, the rest of the staff belongs to an employees’ association and their wages are on par with union Lawrence Gosselin: | prefer a small-town atmosphere. Betty Barton photo shops.
