It's always good to get out of the office one in awhile, especially if it's for a great cause! The Ally team started the Canada Day long weekend pitching in at The Sharing Farm, a community-based non-profit farm in Richmond dedicated to providing fresh produce to those in need.

All of us are community members first at Ally. Our CIO @dave_whittier has been hard at work these past few weeks demonstrating just that, volunteering for the upcoming #InvictusGames2025. The cozy volunteer uniform is certainly an added bonus!

🐻🚙Today, officers were called to rescue a black bear locked inside a car. After a door was accidently left unlocked, the bear wreaked havoc on the interior. Officers broke a window to set the bear free.

Let’s all be “bear smart” to help prevent these 🐾 wild encounters.

Wildfire season is here again and we all have a part to play. A few hours spent collecting and clearing debris from your property can make a big difference.

It’s the FireSmart thing to do.
