With the premise of delivering a more modern and comfortable place for customers to do their banking, the Community First Credit Union on Trunk Road held a grand “re-opening” Thursday.
The Trunk road branch has recently undergone extensive renovations to the building. The credit union has been a staple on Trunk road since 1977 and has gone through numerous changes since then.
Trish Porco, Branch Manager said the branch now reflects the new branding and colour scheme for the credit union.
Brent Lamming, Division President was on hand to cut the ribbon and tells SaultOnline.com that the Community First Credit Union is now ranked as the 6th largest credit union in the province with its recent merger with Your Neighbourhood credit union in southern Ontario earlier this year. Combined, the Community First Credit Union now has over 1.6 billion in assets.
Free burgers, hot dogs and beverages were supplied as well as a beautiful cake to mark the occasion. Big Brothers Big Sisters were also on hand with their “Big bail out” fundraiser. There were also hourly draws for prizes. The event ran from 11am to 3pm.
