The bank encourages Canadians to explore their
country and show how they #StandForCanada
TORONTO, March 27, 2017 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM)
(NYSE: CM) is proud to announce that starting today through
August 2017, Canadians and visitors
to the country can now pick up a free Parks Canada 2017 Discovery
Pass at any CIBC banking centre from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
The initiative to bring the outdoors to Canadians by offering an
opportunity to explore all of Parks Canada's national locations, is
thanks to a partnership between Parks Canada and CIBC in
celebration of the bank's and the country's shared 150th
birthday.
"We are delighted to be partnering with CIBC to distribute Parks
Canada's 2017 Discovery Passes. With CIBC's reach, we can ensure
that millions of Canadians have access to Parks Canada's treasured
places. As we celebrate Canada's
150th anniversary of Confederation, we invite Canadians
to be inspired and captivated by the stories of the people and
events that shaped the Canada of
today. Canada's national parks,
national historic sites and national marine conservation areas
enable Canadians to experience their rich history and heritage in a
special way and will play a big part in the celebration of
Canada 150," says Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and
Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada.
This partnership is part of CIBC's year-long celebration of its
shared 150th birthday with Canada and an example of how the bank is
helping people across the country demonstrate pride in their nation
and show how they #StandForCanada.
"Our national parks and sites are among our country's greatest
treasures. We are thrilled to offer Canadians easy access to free
Discovery Passes so they can experience the sights and sounds of
these beautiful locations as they celebrate Canada's 150th this summer," says Christina Kramer, CIBC Executive Vice
President.
Founded in 1867, CIBC shares a longstanding history with
Canada. As a proud Canadian
company, it has contributed to shaping our nation into one of the
best in the world, helping people prosper and businesses grow, as
