United Way Centraide campaign raises almost $335,000  for the community

United Way Centraide is the corporate cause chosen by SSQ Insurance and the only one for which a fundraising event is organized to include our 2,000 employees. Communities make us—and that is why giving back to our local community is so important!

Donations from our retirees and employees across the country together with the corporate donation total over $334,595, a 5% increase over last year.

For United Way Centraide-sponsored organizations, this money will make a significant difference for people in need by addressing various aspects of poverty and social exclusion.

The collective spirit shows that together as a community we can achieve great things, because even a small donation can make a big difference. As an example, an employee who gives $1 a week ($52 per year) offers 14 balanced lunches to a child in need.

We are very proud of the solidarity demonstrated by our employees and encourage the entire SSQ Insurance community—employees, partners, customers, and insureds—to give. Together let’s contribute to the well-being of our community.
