Our recent progress

• Roy Pogorzelski, a Métis educator, delivered the keynote presentation at our Annual General Meeting, providing our members with engaging and thoughtful insights into Indigenous awareness and history.
• On September 29, we honoured National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with a webcast for all employees, featuring storytelling, education and a performance by Indigenous artist, lawyer and advocate Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson.
• Prospera is the proud sponsor of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce’s Reconciliation Through Education program. In 2023, this program consisted of workshops, tours and stories to further reconciliation, and was attended by Prospera employees, along with community and Chamber members.
• As well, Prospera sponsored a bursary for a local Indigenous student by donating to the Indigenous Surrey Student Bursary Fund through the SurreyCares Foundation. This fund was created with an interest in social equity, to support graduating Indigenous students to achieve their educational and career goals.
• We sponsored the BC Lions’ Orange Shirt Day Game on September 29. Our employees volunteered at the game, handing out orange t-shirts to the first 10,000 attendees at BC Place stadium. We’re back as a major sponsor in 2024.
• In addition, we continue to sponsor the BC Lions’ Indigenous Youth Program, enabling Indigenous students from across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley to learn how to play flag football from BC Lions players. The teens also learn the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership through sport.
