Today is the 75th anniversary of International Credit Union Day and we couldn’t be more excited! We are proud to be a Credit Union and be able to offer our members personalized tools and services. Today, we wanted to look back and reminisce on some of the things we got up to this year.

Our Insights Blog Launched

Back in January, we published our personal and business insights blogs. This is a powerful tool we offer our members so they can learn more about common topics like everyday banking, mortgages, starting a business and so much more. These blogs are populated weekly and are filled with up-to-date information.

Lunch and Learns with Lethbridge College

We ran a financial wellness series at Lethbridge College in April-March where we helped educate students on bettering their finances. We talked about credit and managing student debt. We had a blast chatting with students to hear their financial concerns and how we could help alleviate some of their stress.

Easter Colouring Contest

Stay tuned for 2024 Financial Wellness events!
