Canadian Western Bank has been working with Big Brothers Big Sisters since 2008 with the Greater Interest GIC program. The two month campaign donates 1/8 per cent of every dollar raised to local Big Brothers Big Sisters programming, and this year contributed $5,118 to Yorkton and Area BBBS. The bank also hosted a fund raising barbecue which raised $460. Pictured above are Jodi Dull with Canadian Western Bank, Leah McNeill, big sister, Sam King, little sister, Irma Van de Bon-Nichol, Executive Director of BBBS and Kelly Price, Branch Manager. Van de Bon-Nichol says that continuing support like this allows BBBS to meet the greater need in the community, as a growing number of kids take part in the program each year. She notes that mentoring has been shown to help kids throughout their lives, and encourages people to take part and become a mentor.
