Trevor's Take

2025 Spring Edition

Spring is here. Fresh Starts and Bold Steps

There’s something about the shift in seasons that always makes me pause. The snow melts, the days stretch a little longer, and there’s a quiet sense of hope in the air. Spring is a fresh start. And for me, this season brings more than just the usual changes—it marks my first as the CEO of Synergy Credit Union.

Taking on this role is an incredible honour. I’ve been part of the Synergy family for a while and am proud of the roots we’ve built together in our communities. But now, we’re entering a season of change—not just for Synergy, but for credit unions across the province and around the country.

From global economic shifts to how we bank on a local level, change is coming at us fast. And yes, that includes the upcoming merger vote.

Let me be real with you—change can be scary. There’s a quote I love by author Robin Sharma:
Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.

We’ve heard concerns. Some of you have questions about what this merger means for our service, our technology, and that personal touch we’re known for. I hear you. I get it.

What I want you to know is this—our members will always be at the heart of what we do. That’s not going anywhere. But this merger also gives us the tools, technology, and stability to serve you even better. Think stronger online banking, smarter tools, and more services to help you reach your financial goals.

I encourage you to visit Together for a Thriving Saskatchewan to learn more about what this merger could mean for you.

Here’s the bottom line: the financial world is changing fast. Banks and credit unions across Canada are evolving to stay strong. Right now, we have the opportunity to align with partners who share our values, mission, and vision. But that window won’t stay open forever. This is why we have chosen to act now and recommend a merger with Conexus and Cornerstone Credit Unions.

I believe the best decisions come from being informed, and that starts with asking questions. I encourage you to be curious, dig into the details, and don’t hesitate to reach out to me or anyone on the Synergy team with your questions or concerns. We’re here to listen, support, and make sure you have all the facts.

As your CEO, I fully support this merger because I believe it’s the best path forward for our members, our staff, and the communities we call home. Change isn’t always easy, but the right change, made together, can unlock opportunities we’d never reach alone. I encourage you to learn more, ask questions, and make your voice heard.

Ultimately, this choice belongs to you, our members.

Your vote matters.

Talk soon,
Trevor

Member Relief Program

We have been here through good times and difficult times with our members for nearly 80 years.

We’re proud of the resiliency of our members and want to ensure they know we are here for them.

Whether it was the oil crash in the 1980s or the recessions in 2008, we have learned many things: one of which is there isn’t a cookie-cutter approach that we can take to meet our members’ diverse needs.

Recently, sustained hot weather and lack of precipitation is expected to have an impact on the bottom line of some of our agriculture members. We know this can be stressful as crops and pastureland in some areas are struggling.

We want you to know Synergy offers flexible options, including mortgage and loan payment relief, combined with tailored solutions in these circumstances.

Please contact us to discuss options, to ask us any questions, or to help you determine what may be best for you. You can give us a call at 1-866-825-3301 or 1-306-825-3301.

We're here to help.
