This year marks the first Canada Day since Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life became one company – Canada Life.

We’re taking this time to celebrate with our communities. Here’s what we have planned.

Virtual Canada Day at The Forks

We’re excited to be the presenting supporter of Canada Day Virtual in Winnipeg – a virtual celebration including:

• Over 20 musical performance acts from artists and bands like Al Simmons, Sierra Noble and The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra – and more
• Greetings from various community leaders, including Paul Mahon, President and Chief Executive Officer, Great-West Lifeco and Canada Life
• A virtual firework display 

It will be shared on The Forks’ FacebookOpens a new website in a new windowOpens a new website in a new window and YouTubeOpens a new website in a new windowOpens a new website in a new window at 2p.m. CST on July 1. Be sure to tune in!

Social media fun

We’ve created some GIF stickers to mark the occasion this year. Be sure to check us out on social media to use them and join the fun. They’ll be available starting on July 1. You can also join in with the hashtag #MyCanadaLife to share what you’re up to this Canada Day.

The gift of time

We’re also very grateful to our employees for their hard work over the last few months.

We decided to thank them with the gift of time – in the form of 2 extra personal days off on July 2 and 3 to extend the Canada Day long weekend. With that said, we’re still available to take customer inquiries if you need us.

Happy Canada Day from all of us at Canada Life!
