In 1987, the Hensall District Co-op celebrated its 50th year in
business. The strength of the Hensall Co-op is in its 4500 members, who
realize the importance of local control of a high-volume agri-business.
In today's business climate, when more and more of our economy is
centred in urban areas, the importance of some economic control in
rural communities becomes even more significant.
