It wasn't until 1964 that a woman could open her own bank account without the signature of a man. It took another decade before women could obtain their own credit card.
In 1992 the Government of Canada designated October as Women's History Month. In addition to celebrating women's achievements that have shaped Canada, the aim is to inspire future generations and to continue reducing inequalities women still face. Representation is crucial in this pursuit because it empowers people, fuels innovation and drives growth.
At Heartland, we recognize and appreciate diversity and know that our work can have a significant impact on the financial resilience of women and their families. That includes our clients AND our employees. We value the contributions of all by fostering an inclusive environment where everyone has a sense of belonging.
