We’re thrilled to announce that we are the first official sustainability partner for the 2025 Vancouver Sun Run. For nearly 80 years, we've prided ourselves on being a financial force for change in local communities across BC. From financing the first net-zero homes to pioneering Canada’s first socially responsible investment fund, we continue to provide clear environmental sustainability leadership in the financial sector—both in our day-to-day operations and through the socially responsible advice given to our members. Together, we are excited to collaborate with The Vancouver Sun Run to reduce our carbon footprint at this year’s event.

Meet Rana Chung, BComm, CFP, RIS, Regional Manager of Wealth Solutions at Vancity. With 26 years of experience in the organization, she drives impact by leading a team of dedicated wealth professionals, ensuring financial planning is accessible to all. Through strategic initiatives, she focuses on delivering trusted, holistic advice and responsible financial solutions that empower members on their financial journey. To learn more about Rana, read on! What inspired you to pursue a career in Wealth Solutions at Vancity? Vancity has a strong reputation as a leader in the community, supporting members, investing in staff, and demonstrating an unparalleled commitment to the environment. Growing up with parents who sacrificed so much for a better future instilled in me a deep sense of gratitude and a desire to make a meaningful impact. That’s what led me to financial planning, helping members navigate different life stages with thoughtful and thorough advice. Seeing firsthand how financial planning can create security and opportunity, especially during pivotal life moments, has been incredibly rewarding. What initiatives have you led to support staff growth and daily interactions at Vancity? I’ve focused on developing strong financial planning frameworks to ensure my team has the right tools and knowledge to lead meaningful conversations and provide holistic advice. We’re in a privileged position to positively impact our members' financial wellbeing in so many ways, and that drives everything we do. I’m particularly proud of our Women-in-Wealth initiative that we launched pre-Covid and the incredible organizational DEIR initiatives within Sustainable Wealth Management (SWM) and Vancity. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing others thrive, whether it’s by mentoring peers, supporting members, or making a difference in their own communities. What’s your advice for making a real impact in a big organization? Be committed to your craft and continuous learning. Values alignment and a growth mindset are critical, so be passionate about what you believe in. Lead with curiosity and empathy, not judgment. How does your work contribute to building a more equitable and supportive environment, both for Vancity staff and the members they serve? By ensuring that all members have access to financial planning services and advice, we focus on the person in front of us, not just their financial status. It’s about providing the right tools and digital platforms to engage members in the planning process, empowering them to take an active role in their financial future. Looking forward, what are your hopes for the evolution of Vancity, and how do you envision it impacting both employees and members? I hope we continue to innovate through new technologies, products, and services to better serve all our members. By collaborating with partners and fintechs within our ecosystem, we can grow beyond our communities while staying true to our purpose of doing good.

Congratulations to Jonathan Fowlie, Chief Member Impact and Experience Officer at Vancity, on his appointment to the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Global Steering Committee.

Our values aren't going anywhere. Words from our CEO Wellington Holbrook on our commitment to climate, diversity, equity, inclusion and Reconciliation.

Our Board Chair, Rita Parikh ICD.D, reflects on our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, acknowledging the gaps between our intentions and actions. 

Diversity in our workforce is essential. It allows us to truly represent, understand and respond to our community needs and deliver on our differentiated member experience. At Vancity, we measure our workplace diversity through an internal profile we call myDiversity. It's designed to include everyone. It offers a wide range of categories to express how our people identify in terms of abilities, race, gender and sexual orientation. While a full picture of diversity at Vancity requires 100% participation from all employees, we’re proud that our board participation is 100%, our manager's participation rate is 89.91% and our senior leader participation rate is 85.39%. We’re working hard to go further. Because we believe that equity should be the norm, not an exception. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #IWD2025
