2017 has proven to be an amazing year thus far, and it is really only getting started if you think about it. After enjoying a quintessential Canadian winter, it’s time for us all to stretch and get ready for a sunny and warm spring. With the new season comes a sense of excitement, and I am happy to be able to finally tell you all that we have partnered with CIBC for their #StandForCanada campaign which coincides with #Canada150 & CIBC 150th celebrations taking place across the country. For the next few months, the #DoTheDaniel team will be attending some incredible events and bringing you all BTS with us in the process.

We moved a lot when I was younger because we followed the opportunities that my parents had in their careers.

You read that correctly. A ski-thru ATM – and I cannot stop searching through photos online of this now social media phenomena! Not to mention some pretty incredible #Canada150 events coming down the pipeline from coast-to-coast, this iconic Canadian financial institution is ready to help Canadians celebrate our best year yet!
