TORONTO, Sept. 25,
2022 /CNW/ - Scotiabank is donating $250,000 to the Canadian Red Cross to get urgent
relief to those in Eastern Canada
affected by Hurricane Fiona. Funding will also support long-term
recovery and resiliency efforts in the communities most
impacted.
"Hurricane Fiona has been devastating for people and communities
across Eastern Canada, many of
whom are our customers, employees, relatives, and friends," said
Brian Porter, President and Chief
Executive Officer at Scotiabank. "Eastern Canadians are
tremendously resilient, and it has been inspiring to see people
come together to support one another during this difficult time. We
will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with people across the
region as they recover from the storm and begin to rebuild."
Scotiabank is committed to working individually with our
customers during this difficult time and will be providing
additional assistance, which may include deferrals on payments, fee
reimbursements, and easier access to funds, among other benefits.
Customers in Eastern Canada
requiring advice or assistance with their banking needs are
encouraged to call 1-800-4-SCOTIA.
