About

The Hornby Island Co-op was started in 1955. A dedicated group of locals was looking for a way to provide residents with food, fuel, household, and hardware needs at fair prices. Thus the Hornby Island Co-op was born. 

Our small store has grown over the past six decades into a thriving business and social enterprise.

In addition to allowing residents and visitors to shop local, the Co-op provides steady work for many locals and is the first job for many of Hornby's youth.
