Moncton (N.B.), December 29, 2021 — Assumption Life has received one of Canada’s Volunteer Awards from Employment and Social Development Canada for the year 2020. The awards’ objective is to recognize volunteers and bring national prominence to the contributions of individuals, organizations, and businesses to their communities. Assumption Life has received the award in the “Business Leader” category for the Atlantic region.
 
“Assumption Life is proud of this national prize that recognizes the flawless commitment of our employees towards our communities. In 2019 only, our staff has cumulated more than 400 volunteer hours during work hours which shows a real desire to make a difference. Moreover, this award comes with a $5,000 donation to the non-profit organization of our choice, and we are extremely happy to donate it to the Beauséjour Family Crisis Resource Centre. Every day, this organization offers a critical service to our communities to help to victims of violence and abuse, and their services are in demand more than ever in this difficult pandemic period”, said Sébastien Dupuis, Assumption Life’s President and CEO.
 
Assumption Life has been supporting the Beauséjour Center for a few years and has been sponsoring their “Courage” campaign to build a new facility for individuals affected by violence and abuse.
