Blue Mountains Food Co-op was thrilled to be awarded Blue Mountains City Council’s Sustainability Award at the Local Business Awards on Thursday 17th November.
Susan Ambler (Chair) and Lesley Sammon were at the award ceremony to accept the trophy from Mayor Mark Greenhill and acknowledge the members, staff, volunteers, and supporters who help make the Co-op such a valuable community asset.
Mayor Greenhill congratulated the Co-op commenting on Facebook that we are “a wonderful business that has such a fabulous place in our community!”
We are currently taking part in BMCC’s soft plastic recycling trial and will keep members updated on outcomes.
Blue Mountains Food Co-op supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart and in 2017 accepted its generous invitation to walk together with Indigenous Australians for a better future.
Therefore, the Blue Mountains Food Co-op Board support recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our constitution and the establishment of a constitutionally enshrined Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
This means that the Blue Mountains Food Co-op Board supports a YES vote in the upcoming referendum.
Blue Mountains Food Co-op Members may have many different points of view so the Board encourages our community to engage thoughtfully and respectfully with each other on this issue.
