RSP CONTRIBUTION DEADLINE

Feb 21. 08

THE DEADLINE for making your RSP contribution this year is FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29! Stop by your Branch today to learn more about the Community Builder RSP Special.

When choosing our COMMUNITY BUILDER product, you not only look after your retirement, you also help your local branch make a very important contribution to build your own Community. The Community Builder Campaign allows us to further our commitment to each of our communities. This year, we are donating funds to the following four local community groups from the Hazeltons to the Lakes District based on the amount of funds deposited to Community Builder Special product at each branch.

the Hazeltons’: Ken Trombley Ice Arena
Smithers: Smithers Regional Fire Training Center
Houston & District: Morice-Bulkley Heritage Museum Society
Lakes District: Lakes District Fall Fair Association

From 2002 to 2007, the donations totaled over $114,000 to the local community groups chosen to be the beneficiaries of the Community Builder Campaign. 2008 marks the seventh year of offering this special for new RSP contributions, regular deposits, renewing deposit funds, and funds transferred in to the credit union as well.
The recipients in the Lakes District have been the Lakes District Arts Council, Burns Lake Minor Hockey Association, Burns Lake & District Health Care Authority, the Burns Lake Rotary Club, the Tennis Court Project, and the Burns Lake Public Library Expansion Project.
The recipients in Houston have been the Siverthorne PAC Playground Project, Houston Volunteer Fire Department, The Houston Senior Housing Society and the Houston & District Curling Club.
