How we support the co-operative economy How we help co-operative businesses grow. Roberts felt credit unions should be for everybody. The decision to go ahead was also fed by a noticeable and growing difference of approach between the Canadian and American credit union movements. While American credit unions were mostly associated with individual, privately-owned companies, the Canadian movement, at least in the West, was aimed primarily at the community.
At meetings of the American-based Credit Union National Association, the rambunctious BC bunch were considered uncontrollable radicals. The doubters, not openly opposing the project but still uneasy, stood back to see what would happen. At the end of September , 14 Vancouverites signed a charter to establish an open-bond credit union called Vancouver City Savings Credit Union. Before the charter even came back from Victoria, a man from Saskatchewan named Mr. Martha Makovichuk, the clerk at the League, told him the only credit union he was eligible to join was the newly-formed Vancouver City Savings, which was open to any resident of Vancouver.
Makovichuk had no idea. Makovichuk hurried over to Burns. Martha Makovichuk became book member number 1. When the charter came back from Victoria and the founding group learned that member numbers 1 and 2 were gone, they were furious! The first loan Vancity made was to a young woman who stepped off the streetcar and walked into the League offices in He signed her up and took the loan application.
