We do this by offering products, tools and services to help you prosper. We put our money where our mouth is by offering sponsorships, donations and scholarships.

“Loving Local” Design Competition

Synergy collaborated with students at Holy Rosary High School, Lloydminster, to create a fresh and engaging graphic to be used as Synergy’s Annual Report Cover for 2022 (to be printed in 2023) and other key marketing pieces like the annual Synergy calendar, website, and social media.

Saskatchewan Co-operative Youth Retreat

Camp Kindling (also called the Saskatchewan Co-operative Youth Retreat/SCYR) is specially designed for Saskatchewan youth ages 12 to 18. The aim of the program is to contribute to the personal development of youth and encourage their active involvement in community and co-operative organizations. We’re proud to support youth in our communities as they experience personal growth that results from participating in SCYR.

Volunteering

We are committed to the increased financial and mental wellbeing of our members and community, and we see this as an opportunity to highlight that message through the incredible storytelling involved in Second Bounce.

“It is another way for us to reach our members and non-members with the message to make sure you are taking care of yourself in a holistic manner – mentally, physically, financially. It all matters,” said Synergy CEO Glenn Stang.

Through our unique Synergy Shares Program, we invest in our communities and fund tools to support projects that improve community value, health care, financial literacy, and enhance local initiatives. Our staff members are passionate volunteers who extend everyday acts of kindness as part of their jobs.

Each year up to 5% of Synergy’s pre-tax profit will be set aside to fund this valuable initiative. This year, Synergy committed just over $1 million into the communities we serve through the Synergy Shares program.

OUR MEMBERS SAY IT BEST

"I was raised in a small prairie town and grew up depositing at my local credit union. From special birthday money to my first pay cheque, the credit union played an important role.

When I moved to this market, I looked for a credit union. Synergy has treated me with respect and dignity from day one, and I've never forgotten it.”
