Businesses can make a difference in communities and FirstOntario Credit Union is leading the way

When it comes to social issues facing communities, businesses must play a role to help create pathways to solutions. Beyond the writing of a cheque, businesses (large and small) can be at the table to help communities navigate through the significant social challenges facing cities and towns. Lloyd Smith, CEO of FirstOntario Credit Union is leading by example. Through the empowerment of its employees to get involved in communities, to partnering with NGOs and developers to build purpose-built housing to getting personally involved in local community projects, Lloyd discusses the importance of building sustainable communities through the lens of a business person.
