❤️ This September, our Technology Services team put community first through Western's Good Heart Program, an initiative encouraging team members to dedicate paid volunteer time to causes that support the places where we live and work.

From supporting families through Harvest Manitoba to serving meals at the Salvation Army Centre of Hope, team members in Winnipeg and Calgary spent time giving back and making meaningful connections in their communities.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make a difference. Together, small acts of kindness create lasting impact.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs. Calgary Stampeders

Two teams. Two jerseys. We're proud to be on both.

Every season has its big moments. Every season needs coverage. Home, car, truck, life, business: we've got you covered all year, from kickoff to playoffs and everything after.

This weekend, we're celebrating two great teams, passionate fans, and the communities that bring us together.

Thank you to both organizations for being valued partners and for helping create memorable moments on and off the field.

Enjoy the game. 🏈

🌳 A more welcoming and accessible community space is now ready for residents and visitors to enjoy in the Town of Georgina.

Support through the Western Financial Group Communities Foundation's Community Infrastructure Grant Program helped fund enhancements at Jackson's Point Parkette, making the space more accessible and inclusive for community events and gatherings.

"The Western Financial Group Communities Foundation grant helped the Town of Georgina purchase accessible seating for the Jackson’s Point Parkette that would not have otherwise been possible. The project revitalized the parkette, improving the accessibility and inclusivity of the space for community events and gatherings. The Town of Georgina is grateful for the support from the Western Financial Group Communities Foundation towards this important community space."

Small acts can make a lifesaving difference. 🩸 💙

This summer, Western Financial Group employees rolled up their sleeves to support Canada’s Lifeline through our first corporate blood drive with Canadian Blood Services. From July 1 to September 1, employees across five regional teams donated 62 units of blood and plasma, including 43 new and reinstated donors.

Organized through Western Communities Foundation’s Good Heart program, the campaign is one more way our employees are helping strengthen the communities where they live and work.

Thank you to everyone who donated, encouraged a colleague or helped spread the word, and to our National Champion, Krystal Hoover, and the employee volunteers who helped make the campaign a success.

Together, we’re helping strengthen Canada’s blood supply and support patients and families when they need it most.

🧡 On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing journey of learning, reflection, and meaningful action.

Through the Western Communities Foundation's Indigenous Infrastructure Grant Program, we're proud to support Indigenous-led and Indigenous-focused projects that strengthen community connection, accessibility, cultural preservation, health, and well-being. The Foundation is announcing its 2026 Indigenous Infrastructure Grant recipients in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This year's recipients are supporting initiatives that create culturally welcoming gathering spaces, expand food security, improve accessibility, and increase access to community-based healthcare services. The projects were selected through the Foundation's Indigenous Infrastructure Grant Program, which provides funding to support vital community infrastructure.
Since 2021, the program has invested more than $195,000 in Indigenous-focused initiatives, helping build stronger, more connected communities across Canada.
Congratulations to the 2026 recipients, and thank you for the meaningful impact you're creating in your communities.

❄️🚗 Tip Tuesday: Winter-ready can mean savings, too!
Thinking about putting on your winter tires? Before you book your tire swap, check with your insurance broker. In some cases, having qualifying winter tires may make you eligible for an insurance discount — so getting winter-ready could help your wallet, too. 💰

And winter tires are just one piece of the puzzle. Our latest blog covers a fall car maintenance checklist to help you prepare for the season, from winter tires and battery checks to fluids and more.
