The spirit of Manitobans and their resilience to endure was a predominant theme in 2020. Manitoba credit unions were created during hard times as a means for people to help lift their communities and take control of their financial future.
Governed by the seven international co-operative principles, credit union decision-making is driven by a desire to help their member-owners and the communities they live in. Through philanthropy, volunteerism, and by lending member deposits back into communities, credit unions and CUCM’s associate member Caisse Financial Group, are locally invested in the success of Manitobans. Together, they have a presence in 123 cities and towns, including 81 where they are the only financial institution.
For credit unions, the top priority was ensuring the well-being of all while continuing to meet the needs of members, employees and communities. Putting people first is at the heart of the credit union purpose and was more important throughout the pandemic than ever before.
