This week, our business leaders and I had the pleasure of hosting our group of associates and new team members. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other, share experiences, and begin forging the relationships that will shape our future success.   At CIBC, we believe in fostering a culture of collaboration and growth from the very beginning.

Challenge yourself to continuously step outside your comfort zone.   - Our culture is key. we believe in building a best in class team environment where collaboration, trust, genuine care, personal and professional growth, and some fun along the way are at the core.   Excited for what’s ahead as we continue to build, learn, and grow together!

We were honoured to host the Ontario Nonprofit Network Connector Salon last week at CIBC Square. This event brought together ONN connectors, members, and nonprofit leaders to officially launch the 2024 State of the Sector survey results and the policy report which provides a snapshot of how Ontario’s nonprofit sector is faring in the current social, economic, and political climate. It was great to connect with members throughout the day. CIBC recognizes that the strategic and financial objectives of public sector and not-for-profit organizations, and the environments within which they operate, are very different from those of for-profit commercial businesses. Through our dedicated industry focus, our team members have an extensive understanding of the unique funding models, regulations, challenges and emerging trends in the sector. https://lnkd.in/gq5KSK6x Kyle McLean Pamela Uppal-Sandhu Oveesh M.

In Canada, 1 in 8 women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.  Because of our collective focus and investment to increase screening and improve treatments amongst other advancements, the 5-year survival for breast cancer has improved. Today, 89% of women and 76% of men with breast cancer survive at least 5 years past their diagnosis.  This year CIBC is proud to be celebrating our 28th year as title partner of the Run. CIBC has raised over $62 MM to date, for breast cancer research, treatment, education and support programs.

September 30th marks the #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation — a day dedicated to honouring the children lost to, and survivors of, the residential school system. It’s also an opportunity to learn the truth about our shared history and have a conversation about our path toward reconciliation in Canada    Dedicated to helping our community chase their ambitions, we too have a duty to support the wellbeing and future of our Indigenous communities. Here are three ways we’re supporting reconciliation and investing in Indigenous prosperity    1. Grand opening with the Prince Albert Grand Council  In recognition of a new banking centre opening in Prince Albert, we were joined by members of the Prince Albert Grand Council and family-based drum circle group Iron Swing as we raised a permanent land acknowledgment plaque.    2. Partnership with Indigenous Institutes Consortium  CIBC established a multi-year partnership with the Indigenous Institutes Consortium (IIC), representing 7 Indigenous-owned postsecondary education institutions in Ontario. The partnership will support access to education and employment opportunities of Indigenous learners at Indigenous institutes by offering 14 new scholarships to students.    3. Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit  CIBC was lead partner of the Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit this year, focusing on the critical role of Indigenous communities in conjunction with Canada’s sustainability, use of energy, and use of natural resources.  

Aujourd’hui, nous célébrerons la Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation au Canada pour honorer les enfants qui ne sont jamais revenus des pensionnats et pour reconnaître les répercussions encore ressenties par les survivants, leur famille et leur communauté.   La Banque CIBC s’engage à faire progresser la prospérité économique des peuples autochtones et s’appuie sur son cadre de réconciliation pour accélérer les progrès tout en répondant à l’appel à l’action 92 de la Commission de vérité et de réconciliation du Canada. Plus récemment, notre banque a reçu le prix de la Réconciliation avec les peuples autochtones et le prix Innovation pour la deuxième année consécutive dans le contexte des Prix de réalisation pour l’équité en emploi 2024 remis par le Programme canadien du travail.   Bien que nous réalisions des progrès en matière de soutien aux communautés autochtones, il est important de se rappeler qu’il reste encore beaucoup de chemin à faire. Nous encourageons tous les membres de l’équipe à profiter de cette journée pour réfléchir, apprendre et agir.   https://lnkd.in/gwGmp5pM
