Recognizing the Season of Giving

 

Annual holiday season of giving

At FirstOntario, the season of giving officially kicks off right before the holidays. But we believe in supporting our communities through donations and by giving our time to make an impact all year round.

Good things happen when we come together

During the 2024 season of giving, we brightened our communities by donating time, resources and support to our partners. Our FirstOntario Blue Wave employee volunteers helped out across our regions and we donated to food banks and local families. The community also came together to contribute to the CHCH-TV Toy Drive that saw more than $41,000 collected and 1,550 toys donated to children this holiday.

Here are some of the ways we're working to make a difference
