Credit Union Wins Community Involvement award
On April 13th, at the Atlantic Central General Annual Meeting, Beaubear Credit was the proud recipient of the prestigious Coady Award. The Coady Award is given annually to honour an Atlantic Canadian Credit Union or Caisse Populaire that best exemplifies leadership, support and involvement in its community. The award was named for Dr. Moses Coady, a pioneer and a “giant” in the cooperative movement who encouraged his followers to strive for a meaningful economic democracy that would permit the higher social activities of mankind. The award has been given out since 1954. This is the first time the award has been presented to a credit union outside of Nova Scotia.
Highlights of Beaubear Credit Union’s community support include:
- Major sponsor of the 2011 Senior Men’s National Baseball Championship
- Major sponsor of the City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame since 2007
- Kidsport Miramichi
- Continued commitment to the success of Miramichi Transit
- Golden Hawk Youth Event Night
- Two Annual Scholarships
- School Credit Union established at Nelson Rural School for decades
- Annual fundraising for the Miramichi Community Food Bank
- Annual contributions to a variety of Miramchi Festivals and Events
The inscription on the award reads, “In recognition of Beaubear Credit Union for their leadership, contribution and commitment to social action and well-being of their community”.
Beaubear Credit Union would like to express our sincere appreciation to our members, employees, past and present members of the Board of Directors and the community of Miramichi. This achievement is a reflection of hard work, dedication and belief in what we do.
