Those who qualify receive $500 each for their charity. In 2016, our Employees and advisors volunteered more than 40,000 hours of their personal time to local charities and organizations.
Each year, Sun Life recognizes the extraordinary community involvement of our volunteer leaders through the Sun Life National Volunteer of the Year awards. The Volunteer of the Year receives $10,000 for his or her charity of choice and the 3 finalists receive $3,000 each for their selected charities. We are proud to recognize Martha Palaroan as our 2015 National Volunteer of the Year, along with finalists Rahim Bhatia, Tonya Veltman and Suzanne Morin.
We acknowledge that Sun Life operates in many Territories and Treaties across Canada. Our Canadian headquarters in Waterloo are on the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations.
Today, Canada is still the home to many Indigenous, First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples from all across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work in this territory. We offer this acknowledgment as a stepping stone towards honouring the original occupants, as a testimony to the oppression faced by Indigenous peoples, and our commitment to Indigenous communities and employees of Sun Life.
