Independent resource compiling public records on Joe Colangelo, including fraud charges, court filings, and corporate registry data.
Joe Colangelo
JoeColangeloAlert.com is an independent website created to organize publicly available information about matters involving Joe Colangelo, including criminal charges, corporate filings, and documented public-source material. The goal is to help Calgary Co-op members, business partners, community stakeholders and individuals access verified information in one place.
All information on this site comes from public records, court documents, government registries, archived posts, and community submissions. Nothing here asserts guilt or wrongdoing. Criminal charges are allegations only, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law.
This website is not affiliated with Calgary Co-op, Change.org, Evergreen Co-op, or any government agency.
If new public information becomes available, this site will update accordingly.
This page summarizes publicly available information regarding criminal fraud charges involving Joe Colangelo in Alberta, Canada. According to Alberta Court records, Joe Colangelo has been charged with four counts of fraud over $5,000.
Docket numbers: 220320436P1 & 220918098P1
These charges remain allegations, and no findings of guilt have been made. All accused individuals are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
To the best publicly available knowledge when this website was created, proceedings were previously expected to move toward trial in early 2026. According to statements made by individuals involved and publicly accessible information, certain charges may have been stayed temporarily, which is a procedural action that can occur for various administrative or prosecutorial reasons. A stay does not equal withdrawal of charges and does not indicate innocence or guilt.
If the Crown elects to continue, stayed charges can be reinstated within the statutory timeframe.
This page will be updated when new official records become public.
Repurpose Solutions Canada Inc. — Dissolved
Repurpose Solutions Canada Inc., linked to Joe Colangelo, was officially dissolved on February 2, 2024, according to the Alberta Corporate Registry.
The registry doesn’t provide a reason for the dissolution. Companies can be struck for missed filings, inactivity, or other administrative failures, but the result is the same: the corporation no longer legally exists in Canada.
Repurpose Solutions USA — Active on paper, questionable in practice
Repurpose Solutions USA is listed as an active corporation in California. However, the address on its state filings located in Thermal, California, does not appear to be a legitimate business location. Public records, mapping data, and third-party checks show no commercial property or office at that address, and there is no indication the company has ever operated from that location.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
This creates a problem for anyone entering contracts with the company. If the business address is inaccurate or non-existent, it makes it harder to verify operations, assess liabilities, or confirm where official notices can be served. Those gaps expose contractors, suppliers, and clients to higher risk.
Despite the Canadian corporation being dissolved and the U.S. address being unreliable, Joe Colangelo continues to publicly present himself as the owner of Repurpose Solutions on business dealings, social media and LinkedIn. This disconnect between public claims and corporate reality is something individuals and businesses should be aware of before engaging with him or the company in any capacity.
Hold Joe Colangelo Accountable: Transparency in Calgary Co-op & Repurpose Solutions
COMMUNITY CONCERNS: The Issue
This page summarizes concerns that Calgary Co-op members and petition signers publicly raised on Change.org before the petition was removed by Mr. Colangelo. This page is included for transparency because community sentiment is part of the public interest surrounding Co-op governance.
PETITION BELOW:
We are calling on Calgary Co-op members, Alberta residents, and the general public to stay informed about individuals seeking to influence local institutions.
The website savecalgarycoop.com, (which appears now to be inactive since this petition) previously promoted by Mr. Joe Colangelo, expressed support for a petition calling for changes to Calgary Co-op’s leadership. While everyone has the right to participate in public discussions, it is important for the public to understand the background of those leading such campaigns and to verify factual accuracy for themselves.
Public Statements Made by Mr. Colangelo
Mr. Colangelo previously published several online posts related to Calgary Co-op and his advocacy efforts. Those posts are no longer publicly accessible. For reference, screenshots were taken while they were available so that readers may understand the context of statements he made at that time. This petition does not suggest any specific reason for their removal.
In a publicly available online comment, Mr. Colangelo wrote:
“ Albert Guido was incorrectly quoted on this story by Craig Patterson because of incorrect information I gave Craig. Please contact me at joeco@fiducia.ca for the correct information. My sincere apologies. Joe Colangelo, Fiducia”.
This reflects a correction made by Mr. Joe Colangelo regarding information he previously provided to a journalist.

In 2025, Mr. Colangelo published a LinkedIn post responding to Calgary Co-op’s accusation of violating a restraining order against Mr. Joe Colangelo. In that post, he stated:
“The image I shared online was meant to demonstrate the severity of black mold risks — not to pass as a photograph of Co-op’s property. I regret any confusion and have since clarified it in follow-up materials.”
This public statement confirms that the photograph previously posted in the context of Calgary Co-op advocacy was NOT of Co-op’s property and required clarification after its initial publication.


Within a discussion thread on Joe Colangelo’s LinkedIn account, Canadian businessman W. Brett Wilson provided the following statement:
“Joe, I have had several folks ask me about my support for your efforts challenging COOP - for clarity - I have no knowledge and no engagement - so please DELETE me from the social media - people very incorrectly assume or believe I am involved - and I am not as you know.”
W. Brett Wilson, Chairman & CEO
This public clarification, appearing on Mr. Colangelo’s own LinkedIn page, confirms that Mr. Wilson has disclaimed any knowledge of, or involvement in, Mr. Colangelo’s Calgary Co-op campaign.

Calgary Co-op is owned by its members, and its future should be guided by facts, fairness, and full transparency from everyone participating in its governance and public discussions.
While Mr. Joe Colangelo has encouraged Co-op leadership to be transparent, publicly available information including corporate registry records, his own statements, and various legal filings raises questions that many members feel deserve clarification. These questions do not imply wrongdoing, nor do they assume guilt. They simply highlight the need for openness when someone seeks to influence a major member-owned institution.
This petition does not allege that Mr. Colangelo has committed any crime or misconduct. He is legally presumed innocent in all matters.
However, we believe that:
Co-op members deserve to understand who is attempting to influence their cooperative, what their interests are, and whether all relevant information has been fully disclosed. Transparency from every party, not just Co-op leadership, is essential for informed decision-making.
This petition supports transparency, accountability, and fact-based decision-making.
