C 60 g Table of Contents bratin ele y19ear01s2 5 2-2 You Said It!... When I joined the Safeway Credit Union as a part time employee still in High School, I look back at all the advantages the credit union presented. Thanks to the payroll deduction, money went into my account painlessly and built up rapidly. Hence, I was one of the few in my peer group who had a car and a few bucks in my pocket. Something to remember after all these years is the “Service”, it is still outstanding. You can still go and “shoot the breeze: with any of the staff and be treated with the utmost courtesy. I also want to thank the Safeway employee volunteers that contribute their time to the committees that work with the credit union. They help to make the organization the success it is today. Congratulations on your 60th anniversary!

Page 5 Board of Directors Report 2012 On behalf of your Board of Directors, Management and Staff of your Credit Union, I welcome you to the 60th Annual General Meeting. Since our inception in 1953 our Credit Union has grown from 158 members in the first year to 4151 members in 2012. Our assets in 1954 were $33,200.00 and now have reached $43,738,572.00. We could not have accomplished this without the support of Canada Safeway in the early years and you the membership that has been with us all the way. What these numbers do not show, is the human side. They do not show how many members over the years we have had the privilege to help purchase their first home or their very first car. This is what we take great pride in, being there for our members through all stages of their lives. 60 years is truly something to celebrate! This year the board declared a patronage rebate to its members, something we have not been able to do since 2008. The total rebate back to members in 2012 was $58,858.00. We also added $20,570.00 to our retained earnings bringing our equity position to 6.77% of assets. In December, Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation – the entity that guarantees your money, completed a comprehensive audit on our Credit Union. They stated that our credit union had a very solid capital position and felt we had a very sound board and management team. Their remarks were if all Credit Unions were run as well as ours they would be out of a job!! This past year we also completed a detailed risk assessment of banking and backup systems with good results. Next year our Credit Union will be upgrading our banking system with the purchase of a new server and new banking platform. Being in business for 60 years is no easy task; it takes a lot of hard work and dedication from many people. I wish to express my appreciation to all the board members for the leadership and commitment and to the management and staff for your outstanding efforts. Respectfully submitted by the BOARD OF DIRECTORS Barrie Schimpf, President Marla Clermont, 2nd Vice President Sandra Dobrowolski, Director Rob Toews, Director Page 6 Ken Stewart, Vice President Greg Dyki, Director Colby Cavanagh, Director It is my privilege to welcome you to our 60th Annual General Meeting. C 60 g General Manager’s Report 2012 bratin ele y19ear01s2 5 Our Credit Union has a strong history and I am proud to be part of this extraordinary group. We were not the first Safeway Credit Union in Canada but we are the last and we take great pride in that fact. 2-2 Your support this past year has allowed us to continue to grow, our assets grew 4.95% and our liabilities grew 5.25%. Membership was up 2.75%. With interest rates continuing to be at all-time lows, and other economic factors, our bottom line was affected by these pressures. Even with a lower bottom line the board declared a patronage refund to members. We were able to do this because we controlled our expenses and our write-offs of bad debts were at an all-time low. Our Capital Position remains strong at 15.40% of assets, and our liquidity is above the requirements of the credit union act. Overall, we had some very positive results in 2012. We expanded our marketing this year and visited 25 Edmonton Safeway stores and even went farther north to Grande Prairie, Dawson Creek and Fort St. John. We were able to open 135 new accounts in one week and educate a lot of Safeway employees about our services. In 2012 we became part of two new programs within the Credit Union System. “CU Connect” - which allows our members to complete services like withdrawals, deposits, pin changes and get bank drafts with their member card “in branch” at all Alberta Credit Unions surcharge free. The second program is called “Ding Free” which allows our members to use their member cards at any Credit Union “ATM machine” across Canada surcharge free. Celebrating 60 years is an amazing accomplishment and we could not do it without the care and dedication of all the past and present directors, who I would like to thank for their guidance and support. To my staff, I have had the honor of working with many of you for a number of years and I can honestly say I could not find a more caring group of individuals. Thank you!

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canada Safeway Limited Employees' Savings and Credit Union Limited as at October 31, 2012, 2011 and November 1, 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

When I received the notice of our annual meeting in the mail, I wrote the date on my calendar as not to forget, that’s what we old folks do, and it’s a memory thing. I read it and noticed that there was a statement made on both sides referring to “Our Commitment”. Webster’s dictionary defines commitment as “a pledge or promise” and I’m sure that we all have experienced this when doing business with our credit union comprised of a group of men and women who are totally dedicated to their job. That friendly greeting and smile when you walk through the door. For me, it’s that look of anticipation, does he have another one of his jokes to tell us? That immediate attention you receive, whether you’re there to pay a bill or apply for a loan, whatever your business, you know these people are there to give you the very best service that you could ask for. The success or failure of any business is dependent on quality of service and our staff provides us with the very best of that service. Many of our staff has been with us for a very long time and all of them regardless of length of service provide us with a quality of service that other financial institutions only wish they had. That casual sincerity of conversation when they listen to how our families are doing, our state of health, whatever it might be and yet always that professional attention and concern regarding our problems and always ready to help. I know that all of us would like to extend to the management and staff of “Our Credit Union” a sincere Thank You for their commitment to afford us the best service possible. – Herb Grieder – 34 year member Photos on page 4 (from top to bottom): Top photo – Calgary Safeway Credit Union Officers 1954.
