As we approach the end of summer, many Nova Scotians are enjoying one thing in particular: sunny, warm weather. But as you may have noticed, recent heat warnings in Nova Scotia and around the world have called further attention to global climate change, as well as the adverse effects heat can have on our health. Staying safe and healthy goes beyond wearing sunscreen and drinking water and includes finding financially savvy ways to stay cool through the summer heat waves.

CUA remains dedicated to reducing our own environmental footprint and inspiring others to take action with financial solutions that generate positive change. That’s why our team provides a financial pathway for Nova Scotians to replace or upgrade their heating system, install solar panels or complete a range of other energy efficient upgrades to their home or business.

With CUA’s Energy Efficiency Financing, members can enjoy long-term savings with short-term upgrades. Our team works directly with home and business owners who require financing to complete energy efficiency upgrades. This may include upgrades like heat pumps or insulation to not only keep your home or business cool in the summer months, but also warm throughout winter. Stay safe this summer while also helping the environment. Learn more about CUA’s Energy Efficiency Financing.

For those of you who are ready for the heat to subside and counting down the days until school returns this fall, CUA is happy to share an exciting announcement. This month, CUA’s fifth annual $10K in a Day Giveaway contest begins. At CUA, we understand that tuition, books and everyday necessities can add up. That’s why CUA is contributing $10,000 to ten lucky students’ futures. Students can enter their ballots for a chance to win until the end of September 8th. Contest details can be found here.

I’ll leave you with a reminder that anyone who completes CUA’s GPS tool before August 31st will have the opportunity to win our Financial Goal Getaway contest. Our team understands that with rising costs and inflation, summer fun on a budget can be difficult. That’s why CUA is pleased to offer members the chance to win one of two Nova Scotia road trip packages. Each package includes a two-night stay along with gas and restaurant gift cards, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the best of Nova Scotia. Develop a plan to achieve your financial goals with the GPS and you’ll be entered to win-win.
