Hero Account

To make delivering campaign funds easier this year, we have set up a campaign account where you can directly deposit your team’s raised funds at any Scotiabank branch across Canada. Contact us to receive the account information to provide to the bank teller, and make sure you request a Credit Memo to be added to your deposit indicating your company, school, or community group.
