First Calgary Financial – Living Wage Leader
Calgary Corporate Video – First Calgary Financial recognized as a Living Wage Leader in Calgary
First Calgary Financial has been recognized by Vibrant Communities Calgary with the “Living Wage Leader” designation, becoming the third largest corporation in Calgary to take this bold step. “Poverty is a man-made condition, and we all have a responsibility to solve it,” said John Dundas, First Calgary Financial’s Senior Vice President of Strategy & Operations. “All Calgarians deserve to be paid a Living Wage to meet their basic needs, maintain a safe, decent standard of living and save for their future.”
For the past five years, all First Calgary Financial employees have earned a Living Wage, or more. First Calgary Financial has exceeded program requirements by encouraging their suppliers to pay a Living Wage and preferentially sourcing from Living Wage employers.
“We’ve worked closely with First Calgary Financial for years and we’re thrilled to count them among our Living Wage Leaders,” says Dan Meades Director of Vibrant Communities Calgary. “You can’t address poverty without addressing income, and work-based wages are a key part of that. Adequate compensation is the most fundamental way in which we can prevent people from living in poverty, and we’re proud to recognize those that incorporate this in company policies.”
What is a Living Wage? A Living Wage in Calgary amounts to $12.50/hour with benefits and $13.75/hour without benefits, based on Canada’s Low Income Cutoff for an individual living in a city, which stands at $22,667 annually.
Launched in 2009 with the Calgary Chamber, Vibrant Communities Calgary’s Living Wage Leader program recognizes community leaders committed to paying employees a Living Wage. Fair compensation is among the most powerful of corporate social responsibility initiatives when it comes to improving customer loyalty and corporate income. It reduces staff turnover and training costs, and increases productivity. Paying Living Wages has also been shown to increase local spending and improving the local economy.

“We were having a bit of a problem getting people into the fitness/preventative side of the health equation.”
It’s a common dilemma. Calgary-based companies frequently want to employ a corporate health program, but have run into roadblocks with their past efforts. Even if you’ve historically been unable to get buy-in from your staff, the Corporate FitMethod can work for you.
This clear, well-defined and proven process is 100% customized to meet the needs — and desires — of your team. Because it’s easy, fun and it delivers immediately noticeable results, the Corporate FitMethod regularly brings close to 100% voluntary participation.
With a nutrition, exercise and healthy-body focus, the Corporate FitMethod takes your entire staff through three vital phases:
1. Ignite – A risk-free way to pique employee interest and gauge their willingness to participate.
2. Transform – A two-phase program of customizable length geared toward progressing your people through the fastest and most effective ways to lose weight and get healthy for life. Choose from 6 to 18 months.
Phase 1 –Nutrition – Individual assessments are conducted onsite that allow us to develop personalized nutrition, cardio & healthy-body programs for each employee. Accountability and reassessments are included to show results.
Phase 2 – Exercise – While continuing to adhere to their individual nutrition plans, your group will move into a second phase that focuses on exercise & fitness. Just as with the nutrition phase, each person will be assessed and given a customized exercise plan developed just for them. Accountability and reassessments are included to show results.
3. Cultivate – Ongoing support and accountability in the areas of exercise, nutrition and habit change are provided to cultivate and engrain your staff’s new lifestyles.
