At CUA, we value each and every one of our members. That’s why on Thursday, November 7th, CUA held its sixth annual Member Appreciation Day, which featured both in-branch and online celebrations. To show our gratitude, we spent the day surprising our members with some wonderful gifts and prizes.

Throughout the month of October, members were encouraged to submit digital ballots to enter CUA’s Member Appreciation Day giveaway. Starting on October 4th, all member submissions were entered into weekly early bird prize draws, which were announced each Friday throughout the contest. Five of our members were awarded $50 gift cards to CUA member businesses, which included: Made in The Maritimes, Nature Folk, New Scotland Clothing Company, Halifax Brewery Market and Tomavinos Ristorante.

We also had some special SurPrizes for our members: one $100 deposit to a Registered Education Savings Plan for a youth member, one $300 deposit to a savings account of choice for a chequing account holder, and one $500 mortgage payment for a member with a CUA mortgage product. A big congratulations to Robert MacDonald, Bradley Byrne, and Emily Whitmore!

To kick-start the celebrations, our CUA Commercial Team went out into the community to visit a number of our commercial members, delivering care packages as they went. Along with a thank you card, each package contained variety of treats, locally roasted coffee beans, and CUA coffee mugs.

The celebration continued in our branches as slices of cake and 2025 desk calendars were gifted to members who stopped by. Each branch also had its own gift basket draw for those who joined the in-person festivities. We hope our members enjoyed this tasty treat! As the contest period ended, our team drew the names of our grand prize giveaway winners who had entered our draws:

• Member Robert Baker won our grand prize of $1000 cash!

• Owen Swinimer Sampson was the winner of our Apple Watch SE GPS, valued at $425.
