With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we wanted to do something a little special for you or your special someone. So.....we put together 3 of these darling gift baskets! The baskets will be on display in each of our branches. To nominate someone, just comment below and tag them. Both you and your special someone will be entered in the draw. The draw date is Feb 11th.

What's in the basket?
It includes: A Hot Little Chilli Pepper Stuffy (it's sooooo cute!), Chocolate Rose, Lindor Strawberry Truffles, Heart of Lindor Chocolates, Cinamon Hearts, 2 Candles, 2 Mugs, and Package of Rose Petals

PS, Thank you to our lovely MSR Supervisor, Josephine, for showcasing the gift basket.

Are you 59 or over?
Looking for an account with no monthly fee, and also

Unfortunately, the Manitoba Groundhog saw his shadow 😔 See you in 6 weeks when spring arrives.

TFSA stands for Tax-Free Savings Account. If you aren't using a TFSA, you’re leaving money on the table! Despite the name, it’s not just a "savings account"—it’s a powerful tax shield for your wealth.
Benefits:
💰 100% Tax-Free Growth: Whether you earn interest, dividends, or big capital gains, the CRA doesn't take a penny.
💸 Flexible Withdrawals: Take your money out whenever you want—no taxes, no penalties, no questions asked.
📈 More Than Cash: You can hold stocks, ETFs, GICs, and mutual funds inside a TFSA to supercharge your gains.
🔄 Room Rollovers: Didn't contribute last year? No problem. Your unused room carries forward forever.

The 2026 Update: The annual contribution limit for 2026 is $7,000. If you've never contributed and were 18+ in 2009, you could have up to $109,000 in total room!

Pro Tip: If you withdraw money today, you get that contribution room back—but you have to wait until January 1st of next year to put it back in!

Want to get started? Our Wealth Specialists Kian and Susan would be happy to help or answer any questions you might have. You can book an appointment with them through our website: www.compasscu.ca

Hopefully the cold weather we've had lately hasn't ruined your appetite!
