Prize winners and Member Appreciation Day sum up

Last Friday we held our first Member Appreciation Day at the Bloor West (Armadale) branch. The day featured light snacks (many of which were generously donated by local businesses - sweets by Anna's Bakery, Coffee by Coffee Tree and chips and dip by Max's Market). The day was quite a success with many members arriving to be pleasantly surprised by the snacks and thank you gifts on offer.

Member Appreciation Day was an opportunity not only to thank our members for their patronage, but also to introduce many of our newest members from the So-Use branch at Durie to the teller services at  Bloor Armadale. As you may have heard, as of Monday June 20, teller services on Bloor have been consolidated at the Bloor Armadale branch. Non-teller services such as wealth management, safe deposit boxes, ATM and lending operations continue to be offered at our Bloor Durie location.
