Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there! Today, we want to shine the spotlight on one of our own, Thomas Yuk, who not only excels in his role as Senior Investment Strategist with Group Savings and Retirement, but whose dedication, hard work and compassion extend beyond his work to his very important role as a father. 👨‍👧

Thomas is actively involved in the 6ix Wealth Group, a charitable organization of financial professionals who raise funds for the SickKids Foundation, which helps improve children’s lives through faster diagnosis and innovative treatment.

Ealier today, June 12, in the Lounge at our head office, some 29 employees took part in the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge. 🙌

Thanks to the immense generosity of these individuals and the people who supported them, we raised $103,250. This money will be used to fund research and inform and comfort families who are going through the ordeal of having a child with cancer.

We have been dedicated to this cause for a long time, and this was our 20th year of participation!

As a sign of support for their outstanding commitment, iA Financial Group contributed to each participant’s fundraising efforts, in accordance with its donation policy for employees who get involved in their community.

Thank you and congratulations to all the generous and courageous souls who put their heads on the line for the occasion!👏

🐝 On the occasion of World Bee Day, we are proud to share the biodiversity awareness initiative set up at our head office in Quebec City.

We hosted a beehive and an expert from Alvéole shared his knowledge with our colleagues, who had the opportunity to learn more about these incredible pollinators and their crucial role in our ecosystems.

This is just the beginning; the beekeeper will be back every month to ensure the health of the bees and offer employees the opportunity to deepen their knowledge. 🙌

Supporting bees is as simple as planting nectar-rich flowers, hanging an insect nest box or buying honey from local beekeepers. What initiative are you planning? Share your ideas in the comments.

Together, let's contribute to a sustainable future! 🌍
