Entegra employees are getting casual for a cause to raise funds and awareness for local charities through our new corporate initiative, Jeans for Greens.
The concept is simple; Entegra employees donate $1.00 each week in exchange for wearing jeans to work on Fridays. Quarterly, Entegra donates all the funds raised to a charity or local organization that is selected and voted upon by staff, with Entegra matching all contributions.
In Q4 of 2018, $2,666.10 was donated to Winnipeg Harvest to help those in need during the holiday season.

IN 2018 ENTEGRA WAS ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES THROUGH:
FAREWELL TO GORD
After 21 years, the time has come to bid farewell to our CEO and leader, Gordon Kirkwood. Gordon’s tenure with Entegra Credit Union dates back to 1997 when he became the CFO of then, Holy Spirit Credit Union. His role as CFO quickly transitioned when he was promoted to CEO in 1998. Under his leadership and guidance, Entegra has grown from a one-branch organization and $74 million in assets under administration to four branches, an online division, and over $779 million in assets under administration.
During Gordon’s tenure as CEO, Entegra experienced a period of significant financial growth. Gordon orchestrated a rebrand from Holy Spirit Credit Union to Entegra and launched an online division, Implicity Financial. Gordon Kirkwood has had an immeasurable impact on Entegra and has been instrumental to the growth that Entegra has experienced over the years.
Gordon's career in the credit union system spans over four decades. He joined Astra Credit Union in 1977 as a teller and has since held almost every position imaginable within the credit union system with experience primarily in Finance and IT. Gordon has transitioned through the credit union system with stops at Cooperators/Cambrian Credit Union, Credit Union Central of Manitoba, and Assiniboine Credit Union, before finally ending his journey at Holy Spirit/Entegra Credit Union.
It is with great pleasure that the Board, management, and staff thank Gordon for the past 21 years and wish him all the very best in his retirement.
GORDON KIRKWOODCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
BEST WISHES FROM ECU
I think it says a lot about you as a person and as a CEO that I, a teller, am saddened by this news. I hope you see just how big of an impact you have had on this Credit Union and all of its employees, from executives to front line staff. I wish you a wonderful retirement!
“”While we look forward to a challenging and hopefully fulfilling future, one thing
I know for sure is that our past cannot and will not be duplicated again. Sincere thanks and a very heartfelt appreciation to who you are and all you have done for us.
FELICIA BORGES, MSR
“”DARREN DOBSON, DIRECTOR BRANCH OPERATIONS
I remember one of the MSRs at St. Anne’s commenting on how Gord was out shoveling the snow from our walkways. They couldn’t believe a CEO would do that, but I informed them that Gord would be one of the most humble people that they would ever encounter.
“
” BONITA KASTES, BRANCH MANAGER
It has been a privilege to work with you. We have been very lucky to have such a great and understanding leader. “ ”CANDACE DRYBURGH, ADMINISTRATION MANAGER
It’s been an absolute pleasure to work under Gord’s guidance and as everybody knows, we are where we are all because of his brilliant leadership. “ ”JASBIR BHOGAL, COMMERCIAL CREDIT OFFICER
You have been so instrumental in all the positive changes from Holy Spirit to Entegra. It was a pleasure working with you and an honour.“ ”JANINA MISLOWE, INTERNAL AUDITOR

CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER
ERNIE REMILLARDCHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
AS YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, it is our role to provide input and leadership to Entegra’s Executive Management Team, ensuring the day-to-day business conducted by Entegra is in line with the mission, vision, and values of our Credit Union. Our members lie at the core of our values, so when setting the strategic direction for 2018, we have worked to ensure that Entegra is effectively managed for the long-term benefit of our members, reinvesting our profits back into the credit union and the communities we belong to.
This past year was a year of change for Entegra. We welcomed two new executives to our team, CFO Ernie Remillard and COO Kerri Robertson, while saying goodbye to our long-time leader Gordon Kirkwood. We implemented new software systems to help increase organizational efficiencies, expanded our Wealth Management Division to better address the needs of our members, and increased our focus on employee training and development.
In 2018, 97% of our staff members completed personal development training through seminars and courses, providing them with increased knowledge and tools to better serve our members. In addition, 84% of our staff volunteered their time to support a variety of community initiatives, proving Entegra is dedicated to strengthening our impact on the communities we serve.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Continued member loyalty has helped us to achieve the steady growth we saw throughout 2018. In the reporting year, our assets finished just over $670 million, an increase of 5.96% over 2017. We increased member loans by 5.65% and grew our member deposits by 2.24%. Meanwhile, our net income before dividends finished the year at $1,817,588, an improvement of 57.38% over 2017 results. Implicity Financial continues to shine amidst frequently emerging competition in a competitive online market.
Understanding that the financial landscape is always changing, Entegra is dedicated to providing better solutions for our members. In 2018 we enhanced our product and service offering through the launch of our new Visa credit card suite, the introduction of Square mobile payment solutions, and through user enhancements to Interac e-Transfers, including Autodeposit and Request Money feature.
As we live in a predominantly digital world, we understand the importance of offering new channels for our members to conduct their day-to-day business. In 2018, Entegra made several enhancements to our digital banking platform. We launched online applications for all registered products as well as the functionality for members to complete RRSP and TFSA contributions directly from online banking. Heading into 2019, we will continue our focus on simplifying the member experience, which includes the introduction of online account opening for new and existing members.
At Entegra, we truly believe that people on both sides of the counter are our most important resource. I would like to thank our dedicated employees, management team, and Board of Directors for their unwavering commitment. But most importantly, we would like to thank our members for continuing to choose Entegra as your financial partner.
