Does anyone know when the co op rebate checks will be ready this year?  
Thank you

They were mid July in 2014.

These payments are not rebates, but patronage dividends with the amount representative of how much you spent (patronized) the Co-Op.  
 
Each Co-Op is different and can divide their yearly patronage payments as they see fit - often dividing the amount into additional equity in the Co-Op and a cash portion. Heritage Co-Op has always done that split, whereas Westman Media Co-Op, the local cable company, until very recently, has always done 100% equity.  
 
Canadian tax law sees Co-Op patronage as "money returned" and, if for personal, non-business purchases, is 100% non-taxable and does need to be claimed on your income tax.  
 
If you patronage allotment is for more than $100.00 the Co-Op as a business entity must submit a 15% withholding tax to the federal government. When you (as an individual) file your income tax, you can claim that income tax and receive it back as part of any refund.

There is a sign up in the exit area of the grocery store, I'm pretty sure it said the Brandon store event was Wednesday, July 15th.  
 
That week for sure.

They will be handing out cheques on July 15th from 3pm-6pm. If you do not pick up your cheque it will be mailed out to you and you can expect to see it the beginning of August.
