On Tuesday, September 17, fuel up at the Main Street or Mountain Road Co-op Gas Bar locations in Dauphin. Your local Co-op will donate 10¢ per litre sold to the Friends of Dauphin Lake!

In recent years, Dauphin Lake's key recreation areas from Sifton Beach, to Rainbow Beach Provincial Park, to Christensen Beach have seen a dramatic increase in weed growth. This causes extreme risk to boat and personal water craft users on the lake by tangling motors and bringing vessels to dangerously sudden stops. 

Friends of Dauphin Lake Inc is a not-for-profit organization consisting of volunteers and homeowners from the RM of Lakeshore and the RM of Dauphin. It has been created to ensure the sustainability, viability, and economic wellness of Lake Dauphin through strategic investment, development, advocacy, and partnership. Their goal is to "Save the Lake" with short and long-term planning to ensure the health of the lake for our communities and tourists alike. 

Join us for lunch 11am – 1pm at both Gas Bars for a Fundraiser BBQ - all proceeds to the Friends of Dauphin Lake Inc. Pre-orders are welcome. Email friendsofdauphinlakeinc@gmail.com 

“Once again, Fuel Good Day is providing the opportunity for us to work together with our members and customers for the benefit of our communities,” said Lorne Eiffert, General Manager of Dauphin Co-op. “This is a great fundraiser that shows how small actions can have big impacts.”

Special thanks to 730 CKDM and Dauphin Herald for generously partnering with us each year to promote this important event and make it a success.

We are so proud to support the Friends of Dauphin Lake Inc. and contribute to the success of this initiative for now and future generations. Be sure to come by with an empty tank on Tuesday, September 17 and feel good when you fill up!

Co-op has a long history of serving Western Canada and in 2017 Fuel Good Day was launched. During this one-day event, Co-op donates a minimum of five cents from every litre of fuel sold at participating Co-op Gas Bars to a local charity or non-profit organization. Fuel Good Day takes place in September at more than 400 CO-OP® Gas Bars throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

Thanks to the generous community support, we have been able to contribute more than $35,000 since 2017, to the following:

Lt. Col. Barker School

New Beginnings Daycare

Whitmore School

Henderson School

Dauphin Bible Camp

The Bridge Youth Drop In Centre

The Court Project
