Dear Friends,

Before you head off for the Thanksgiving long weekend, we wanted to take a moment to remind you of a few offers that are coming to an end later this month.

From now until October 31st, Canadian Western Bank is offering their Greater Interest GIC� where you can choose from four competitive rates and while you earn a great return, you'll also be investing in the futures of kids in your community. Also, Boston Pizza Kids Cards are still available but only until November 2nd. A $5 donation gets you 5 free Kids Meals and in turn your donation will help kids in your community to reach their full potential. More details on both can be found below.

Also, if you have children in your family in Grade 4-8, you may be interested to know that Big Brothers Big Sisters is bringing back the Big Spelling Bee starting in the Peel, Ontario region and Prince Edward Island. Please see below or visit www.spellingbee.com 
for more details, and as always, we invite you to visit our News & Events, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages to keep on top of the latest updates, events, and offers. 

Until next time we wish you and yours a safe and Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
