Foundation grants boost community infrastructure projects

An exciting time for Western Financial Group, leaders with the Western Communities Foundation (WCF), our charitable arm since 2002, presented $125,000 in infrastructure grant funding in 2019.

In announcing these grants, 25 of them at $5,000 each, we’re ecstatic to join our people in recipient branches as they jubilantly publicize support of each project.

The communities in which we work and play are our homes as well — our team at Western is working to build a stronger Canada for generations to come by way of our Foundation.

“The Western Communities Foundation is thrilled to see these projects develop in 2020,” Laurette LaPlante, WCF director, said. “By building on our sense of place, that’s when our communities shine.”
