Secretary: Jacy Arbuckle
Representing: Pembina Co-op Building Centre
 

Jacy has lived in the town of Souris since she was 6 years old and has always considered it "home". Her father received a job offer as branch manager of the Co-op Home Centre which brought her family into the community, and she never imagined that she would grow up to pursue a career at the exact same Co-op location! Jacy has a diploma is Business Administration and has been the Hardware Manager at the Co-op Home Centre since 2015. She enjoys the fast paced setting of the building materials industry and is a self descripted "retail nerd". She was very involved in the project of building and moving into the new store-front in 2017 and gained a wealth of knowledge from that experience. Although she has briefly dabbled in other career opportunities, returning to the Co-op has always felt like coming home and she values their community minded culture. In her spare time, Jacy enjoys spending time with her 2 young kids and husband Jesse (co-owner/operator of Arbuckle Electric). Jacy is currently the Secretary for the Souris & Glenwood Chamber of Commerce, and has also served in previous roles on the executive as CDC representative and Christmas Chair. It is part of her core beliefs that a collaborative business community is vital to the economic success of a small town which is why she enjoys volunteering her time to be part of the chamber executive.
