Three Saskatchewan Credit unions, whose members are currently voting on a merger proposal, are contributing to the relief effort in the wake the devastation wrought by wildfires. Conexus, Cornerstone, and Synergy Credit Unions are giving $150,000 to the Canadian Red Cross 2025 Saskatchewan Wildfires Appeal.
Wildfires across northern Saskatchewan have forced some 10,000 people to leave their homes to seek safety.
Conexus has been affected as its La Ronge branch is now closed due to the wildfires affecting that community.
“Our hearts are with the individuals, families and communities across Saskatchewan who are facing the devastation and uncertainty caused by these wildfires. At Conexus, we believe in standing by our members—not just in times of prosperity, but especially in moments of crisis. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Cornerstone and Synergy to make this joint donation to the Canadian Red Cross on behalf of our members. To our members who are directly affected, please know that Conexus is here for you. We encourage you to reach out—we’re ready to help in any way we can,” says Conexus CEO Celina Philpot.
The credit unions urge everyone that contributions to the Canadian Red Cross effort before June 29 will be matched by the Federal Government for a double impact.
