We believe strong communities are built by neighbours supporting neighbours. As a local credit union, we’re proud to give back—financially and through hands-on support—to the people and projects that make our communities better places to live.

To enhance our community support, we have developed a new program geared towards large donations over $5,000, with a one-time annual intake. This year’s intake is open from January 15 until February 27, 2026.
