Northbridge Financial Corporation wins the CNA Canada Award for Excellence in Philanthropy & Community Service

Toronto, December 5, 2024 — Northbridge Financial Corporation (NBFC) has won the CNA Canada Award for Excellence in Philanthropy & Community Service at the Insurance Business Canada (IBC) Magazine 2024 Awards. This award recognizes the organization whose contribution of time, leadership, and financial support over a sustained period of time have made significant impacts on the causes or communities they support.

In September 2024, Northbridge was selected as an excellence awardee for this award category.

To determine the winner, IBC collects industry-wide nominations and performs comprehensive research to identify exceptional contenders. Once all nominations are considered and research is complete, excellence awardees are selected in each category. An independent panel of industry leaders and senior representatives then evaluates submissions from the excellence awardees, carefully scoring them against predefined criteria to select the winner in each category.

When judging this category, which is open to any organization within the insurance space, the following criteria are considered: major philanthropy and community service programs or initiatives over the last 12 months; impact on local, national, or international causes or communities; financial or time-based contributions; overall commitment to philanthropy and community service; and testimonials from beneficiaries or partners.

Northbridge has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to philanthropy through a combination of financial contributions and volunteer efforts. Over the past year, the company has supported initiatives in youth education and well-being, disaster relief, food insecurity, and environmental sustainability, leaving a lasting impact on the communities it serves.

“At Northbridge, giving back is a core part of our culture – it’s not just a duty, but the right thing to do,” said Harold Weckworth, Senior Vice President of People and Culture at Northbridge Financial Corporation. “Receiving this award is an honor, and it reinforces our commitment to making a meaningful difference in addressing the most urgent issues facing Canadians.
