THE BATTLEFORDS - Innovation Credit Union has announced a donation of $5,000 in support of the British Columbia Floods and Extreme Weather appeal.
Innovation is joining together with other credit unions through their membership in the Canadian Credit Union Association to help support the Canadian Red Cross. They are also urging people to contribute any way they can to help those impacted or displaced by the severe flooding and mudslides that have impacted British Columbia this fall.
“British Columbia is in a state of crisis and the devastation is widespread. It is up to us to help all those who are struggling right now,” said Innovation Credit Union CEO, Daniel Johnson in a news release. “We have close to 700 valued members living in BC and are committed to uplift their lives and the lives of all those who have been affected. Our contribution will go towards providing financial assistance, relief and recovery.”
In a statement, Innovation said they recognize the impact such environmental catastrophes can have on people, livestock, communities, and infrastructure, and that climate change and environmental degradation are big issues that everyone must face together. “It is imperative to extend our support to those who are going through such challenging times," Johnson said.
