Fusion Credit Union Limited is the new name of a recently merged Parkland credit union.
Last night members of the formerly named Vanguard-Catalyst Credit Union voted for the change. It took place at meetings simultaneously across the Parkland including in Dauphin and Roblin.
Fusion was suggested 4 times out of 650 names submitted as possibilities.
The name was selected through a contest for members and staff, which generated 650 entries. The amalgamation committee reduced the number to 50 entries and staff and members voted on those. The Board selected Fusion, the most popular new name based on three voting groups – members, staff and the amalgamation team.
Through the process, it was constantly in the top three choices of the project team, the staff, and the board of directors.
Ron Hedley, Fusion's CEO says they were looking for a fresh start and didn’t want to re-use either of the former names.
135 members attended the name ratification vote, held in Dauphin, Rossburn, Hamiota and Roblin.
