Community and Our Valued Relationships

The word “community” conveys a sense of togetherness and positivity, which is why communities look out for one another. This type of support can enhance our health and well-being, but the benefits go even further. Connections within our communities, no matter how big or small, can provide the positive energy, outlook, and determination it takes to live life to the fullest. 

This is why giving back is so important to Jeanette and The Power Investment Team. She and her team believe we can all make a difference when we support one another and our community.

Giving back is deeply embedded in our team’s culture and we’re dedicated to making a positive impact in our communities.

My team and I are honored and proud to have supported The Darling Butterfly Ball once again this year. With the generosity of attendees, they raised over $186,000 to support the essential programming and services that care for medically complex children and their families. Our team, along with our lovely guests, had a wonderful time supporting this remarkable organization.

We visited The Darling Home for Kids to drop off a fall donation; it's our way of saying thank you for all that you do for children and families in our community.

An evening of gratitude...

For the past 15 years, it has been my absolute pleasure and honor to support our beloved Darling Home for Kids. For me, my husband James and our team, volunteering, no matter whether it’s monetary or lending a helping hand around the home, provides me with a sense of community and pride that we’re making a positive impact to this amazing organization, their staff and the beautiful families they take care of.

Darling Home for Kids’ positive energy and their unwavering commitment to families is a testament to my own values, which is why I’m honored to support them. This award has touched my heart like they do, and I’m very thankful for this wonderful recognition!

If you would like to join me and my team in supporting this tremendous organization, contact us or visit The Darling Home for Kids.

Our best investment is our community...

My team and I spent a productive and enjoyable afternoon at The Darling Home for Kids. For us, volunteering provides a sense of community and connection with The Darling Home for Kids, their staff, children, and the families they support. By giving just a few hours of our time, this incredible organization is able to continue to maintain a safe and comfortable home environment for the children they care for and most importantly, it helps to decrease the Home’s financial burden, ensuring more funds go directly to their much-needed programs and services. Whether it’s helping to fundraise, garden, tidy up, or provide some companionship to the children, The Darling Home for Kids appreciates everyone’s support. If you would like to join The Power Investment Team to learn how to make your volunteering impactful, connect directly with The Darling Home for Kids.

Earlier this year I visited The Darling Home for Kids with our branch manager, Jennifer Mukherjee. We presented them with a donation for their great work, love and care they provide to children in need throughout our community. It has been an honor and privilege for my team and I to support this amazing organization and if would like to learn more about them, please reach out to me or visit their website: The Darling Home for Kids.

Sometimes, those who teach us about humanity, aren’t always human...

The Power Investment Team had the honor of sponsoring the 2024 Toronto Humane Society Golf Tournament in September.

Why We Sponsor: We believe in the power of community and kindness. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the Toronto Humane Society, helping fund their vital work in animal welfare. With every donation, we’re not just providing food or medical care—we’re giving these animals hope for a brighter future.

How You Can Help: You don’t have to adopt to make a difference! Whether it’s sponsoring an animal, donating supplies, or volunteering, there are countless ways to support the Toronto Humane Society. Together, we can ensure that every animal in need gets the love and care they deserve.

Join me and my team in supporting the Toronto Humane Society and become a part of the life-saving work they do.

This is Tori’s Story…

  

Earlier this year, one of our team members Daryn shared with us that his little sister Victoria, lovingly known as Tori, was tragically taken away from his family when he was just a little boy himself. This was a very newsworthy story years ago and I’m sure many still recall that horrific time when Tori was abducted then later found murdered.
 

To honour beautiful Tori’s legacy, Daryn, his fiancé and our Power Investment Team, participated in the Million Reasons Run, with all proceeds going to local children’s hospitals. The goal was to raise $3,000. Daryn, along with our team and all who participated, happily raised twice that amount! We’re grateful to everyone who donated and supported this initiative.
 

We are so humbled to have been a part of this healing journey with Daryn, reminding us that our loved ones are very precious and to be sure we always tell them how much they mean to us.

Providing individuals with valuable literacy education in our communities...

In May, The Power Investment Team proudly sponsored The Learning Place's 4th Annual Fundraising Gala: "A Night Under the Stars".

The gala's dinner and silent auction was executed perfectly, all in an effort to raise funds for this tremendous organization who strives to provide high quality education, while creating a positive and lasting impact on the lives of learners of all ages.

Our team believes everyone should be given the opportunity to learn, and The Learning Place ensures high quality educational programming is available to our community.
 

Making a difference everyday…

Our team visited the Eden Food for Change food bank recently and were welcomed by some friendly and helpful volunteers. With food insecurity and food bank usage at the highest levels it’s been this year, this Mississauga food bank location is helping to make sure individuals and families in our local community are receiving both hot meals and enough groceries for their monthly visit.

On behalf of my team and I, thank you so much Eden Food For Change for all that you do, every single day! If you’d like to learn more, reach out to us or visit: Eden food for change.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

On December 3rd, our team joined friends The Rocca Sisters Team to participate in the 2023 Burlington Santa Claus Parade!  Sharing hot coco, treats and festive hats to celebrate this most wonderful time of the year in our vibrant community was truly fa la la la fabulous! 

For team CIBC, giving back is personal. Each year thousands of employees give generously to the causes that matter most to them. We’re passionate about making a difference in our communities through corporate donations, volunteering and sponsorship. Together, we are #OneforChange.

Meet our team and see the change we’re making!
