REGINA, Saskatchewan—Conexus Credit Union, Cornerstone Credit Union and Synergy Credit Union said they are partnering to contribute $150,000 to support wildfire disaster relief and recovery efforts across Saskatchewan. 

The joint donation will go to the Canadian Red Cross 2025 Saskatchewan Wildfires Appeal.

“With wildfires continuing to impact communities across the province, the donation will be used for assisting those impacted by the wildfires in Saskatchewan with immediate and ongoing relief including financial assistance, support to evacuees and the communities hosting them, recovery and resilience efforts in response to the wildfires, as well as supporting community preparedness and risk reduction for future all-hazard disaster events within Saskatchewan,” the credit unions said in a statement.

Federal Government Match

Individuals who wish to make a personal contribution before June 29 will be matched by the Federal Government, the CUs added. 

“Supporting members through uncertainty  

As community-based financial institutions, Conexus, Cornerstone, and Synergy Credit Unions are committed to supporting impacted members during this time of crisis,” the credit unions said in a statement. “The wildfires have disrupted lives and livelihoods across Saskatchewan, and the credit unions recognize the financial strain many members may now be facing.”

Branch Closed

Conexus’ La Ronge branch, directly impacted by the wildfires, is closed until further notice during evacuation orders to support employee and member safety.
