We’re excited to partner with Barre Fitness South Surrey in our Workout to Conquer Cancer month long challenge! A special thank you to Susan Scarlett for holding a Livestream Virtual Class for us so we could tune in from across the province for her fun & challenging Barre class. First West Credit Union, will be donating $500 to @WTCC in partnership with Barre Fitness South Surrey.
All this month our staff have been pushing themselves to commit to a minimum 30 minutes of intentional movement each day as part of the Challenge which raises funds for BC Cancer Foundation to support cancer research and patient care in BC.

Our Foundation team is energized and happily pounding the pavement to participate in the Workout to Conquer Cancer. We're running, walking, hiking, gardening, chasing our children and playing with the dog - committed to intentional movement for at least 30 minutes every day in May. And we're not alone, many First West Credit Union staffers are doing the same, individually and on teams.
Last week we shared WHY we are participating in the Workout. This week, our small but might team of five is showing you HOW the Fab Fit Five are supporting the Workout to Conquer Cancer.
We are so proud of the two-year, $200,000 First West Credit Union partnership with the BC Cancer Foundation and we’re thrilled to be participating in the Workout to Conquer Cancer Challenge across all four regional divisions:
Enderby & District Financial, a division of First West CU, Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union, Island Savings a division of First West Credit Union and Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union.

Colleagues all across First West Credit Union are intentionally moving in May in support of the Workout to Conquer Cancer.
This first week we asked WHY they work out! They are making it personal with so many amazing reasons why: for those who have lost the fight, for those who are fighting, for those who have won, for our family, for our children, for our friends, for ourselves!

Today we travel a little further south and west to highlight Danielle with our Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union team.
Happy National Volunteer Week 2022!
Volunteering has been a lifelong pursuit for Danielle, giving back since she was a teen. Now with a family of her own, it comes as no surprise that giving back remains a central theme in the Viel household. In 2019, Danielle’s husband was brought on by the Cloverdale Community Kitchen to run a community bike shop. Naturally, it was both an opportunity and a perfect fit for Danielle to jump right in, feet first!
Danielle takes her volunteer role very seriously as she maintains the bike shop website, assists with inventory, runs fundraiser bike sales and pitches in on other administrative and development work.
While it is hard to pick just one reason, Danielle has always found it very fulfilling to volunteer from an early age. And not only is volunteering fulfilling, it is also fun.
And she knows a thing a two about volunteering. Danielle spent a year volunteering full-time after Hurricane Katrina where she helped run a disaster relief centre. She matched hurricane-devastated residents with volunteers, just like herself, who came from all over North America to help locals repair roofs, gut houses and provide a host of post-hurricane community support.
“I love to help people, it helps keep my priorities in line and my life in perspective,” she says. “It gives me the opportunity to join forces with others to give back to our local community. Volunteering with the community bike shop is extra special because of my love for cycling and I get to support my husband!”
We salute your leadership Danielle and celebrate you as you lead well in your community! Thank you for your volunteer heart and for creating stronger communities at home and away.

We're wrapping up our 2022 Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union Community Leaders Igniting Change program with our final interview between Krista and Denise.
Krista asked Denise “How has taking CLIC impacted you? What have you learned?
"The last 12 weeks with CLIC has been such a positive experience; I am feeling more determined to make changes in my community with the skills and knowledge I have gained. I am grateful for the connections made with all of the kind and thoughtful women in the program. The support and inspiration is a large part of the success I had getting through the past few months. Kathleen has been an amazing mentor and her ability to make everyone feel welcomed is a beautiful gift. I appreciate all of the lovely stories she shared with us.
I have learned leadership comes from the heart and if one has the willingness to be curious, listen attentively and have compassion towards others, they can be on their way to make positive changes. I have learned that I am okay to be where I am with my ideas and thoughts and not to compare or judge myself so quickly. I recognize that being vulnerable does not mean weakness or shame and that I have a voice and not to be afraid to say what I want or express how I feel."

THANK YOU to our CLIC Storytellers Alexa, Jeevan and Krista for leading the Storytelling Series for the second year! We enjoyed learning more about each of you and the participants in the CLIC program. You are all inspired leaders!

CLIC Storytellers have been busy meeting with participants of the Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union Community Leaders Igniting Change program. Recently, Alexa asked Kathy, “How has taking CLIC impacted you? What have you learned?
My name is Katherine. I’m a disabled woman living in Surrey. I am a poet and I love to sing. I’m learning how to connect to myself and others in a more authentic way and feel drawn to learn more about how to do that. I’d like to create more purpose in my life through helping others in my community, and am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn how to understand and break down barriers I face and ways I can move forward with confidence into a leadership role.
CLIC has given me the confidence to imagine myself as a leader. It’s made me feel more capable and that my contributions are of value. Being in a learning environment again was very energizing and empowering, and I look forward to staying in contact with my cohort and the rest of the CLIC Alumni. I have learned so much: that it is essential for a leader to be authentic, compassionate and curious. I’ve learned the value of examining my values, and I know this will serve me in all areas of my life going forward. I feel supported by the wider CLIC community and am so excited to see everyone’s journeys as they implement what we have all learned together. I am grateful to have so much support to draw upon as I explore ideas and projects in the future.

Reflecting on an amazing year of #simplegenerosity in 2021, Fraser Valley Conservancy Land Trust received a $2,000 Thriving Families grant for their in-person Nature Stewardship School Workshops. These popular workshops teach people how to be good stewards of the land and provide real examples of how they can care for nature in their own communities.
Two eager groups of participants participated in a morning and afternoon session and took part in a walk and talk style interactive workshop, learning about invasive and native plants, what makes a good habitat for amphibians, owls and other local wildlife and that nature knows best.
Thank you Fraser Valley Conservancy Land Trust for educating and engaging with folks in the community while taking care of the environment.

CLIC Storyteller Alexa recently met with Mia, a participant in the Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union Community Leaders Igniting Change (CLIC) program. Mia was asked “What have you learned in CLIC that is helping you grow as a leader?”
“I am always striving to grow and I want to build on my confidence in being a change maker that leads from the heart. I joined CLIC to learn effective leadership skills in bringing community stakeholders together for projects big and small, and how to connect a divided community.
I can honestly say after taking CLIC that I am a value-based leader and that I will be truthful, compassionate and that I will strive to show true care and will come to the table without bias. I learned to welcome confusion, conflict and chaos that may arise in leading adaptive change. I learned that reacting from emotion tends to make us one dimensional. We need to change in ourselves, so the change we’d like to see in our community actually happens.”
