In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, CWB will make a $50,000 donation to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation, a national charitable foundation established to coordinate, develop, organize, and deliver assistance to projects generated by Canadians and directed to Ukraine.

"As the world watches in dismay at the situation unfolding in Ukraine, we think of the deep roots that Ukrainians have in Canada, home to the largest Ukrainian population in the world outside Russia and Ukraine," says Chris Fowler, President and Chief Executive Officer, CWB Financial Group. "This situation is complex, disconcerting and heartbreaking, especially for CWB employees who have friends and family in the impacted regions of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. These funds will provide immediate humanitarian aid to the courageous people of Ukraine."

CWB banking centres will also accept public donations for the Canadian Red Cross - Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal until March 18, 2022.
