EKC Celebrates its 70th Anniversary

In honour of EKC's 70^th Anniversary, EKC has added $70,000 for donations to support our communities over the next seven months. The pressure for community groups to source funds has significantly been impacted due to COVID-19.

• the Positive Contributions Campaign starting September 22, giving back $20,000
• and in January, the Legacy Donation Campaign, giving back $50,000.

Wed. Oct.7 to Nov.25 – Recipients announced SIGN UP FOR UPDATES

We invite you to help spread the word and learn more about our community groups in EKC's news updates, EKCCU.COM, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Each week the community group recipient will be awarded $2,500, plus free monthly service charges for a year* a $70 gift certificate for the person who applies and if they are a new member, $200 through Get Your Share (https://getyourshare.ca/ekccu).

Should multiple individuals apply for the same community group, the $70 would only be awarded to the first applicant. Applicants that apply for multiple community groups, who are first to apply, are therefore eligible for each $70 gift certificate.

SIGN UP FOR UPDATES

• One year of free monthly account service charges (will vary depending on the balance they carry)
• One free cheque order (initial cheque order if a non-member joins us because of the campaign) – groups may take advantage of this or not
