Western Financial Group's 1,600 Employees to Build Teddy Bears for Charity

Western Financial Group’s more than 1,600 employees will brighten the lives of children across Canada by each building a teddy bear at their employee conventions this month. The bears will be distributed to more than 20 charities chosen by employees.

“Building teddy bears at our employee convention allows us to have fun, and give back to the community while coming together as a team,” said Jeff Burke, president and CEO of Western Financial Group’s network of insurance brokerages. “We hope these teddy bears will make a difference in the lives of children who are overcoming a trauma, experiencing a life change, or who just need to be cheered up.”

Western Financial Group’s employee conventions are taking place at locations across Western Canada during the month of June. The groups of employees will complete a Build-A-Bear workshop, where each employee will create a unique teddy bear complete with a birth certificate to be given to a child.
