Oxfam Canada Corporate Engagement Profile

CIBC Mellon, 9th floor

CIBC Mellon's employees host a variety of holiday campaigns each year. Last year, the employees on the ninth floor at CIBC Mellon's 320 Bay St. headquarters chose to create an Oxfam Unwrapped wishlist and contribute to it as a floor, raising a significant amount of money for Oxfam and our work.

"Employees took great satisfaction knowing we were able to make a difference for those less fortunate through Oxfam. Buying individual items helped us feel like we were making a tangible difference, and we really enjoyed challenging one another to purchase additional goats!"

Rob Ferguson, Senior Vice President, Capital Markets
