100th anniversary of Montreal's Sun Life Building
MONTREAL, Dec. 15, 2018 /CNW/ - On a morning brimming with
holiday magic and the spirit of sharing, Sun Life Financial today wrapped up the 100th anniversary celebrations for
the company's prestigious Montreal building. About one hundred children enjoyed a Christmas
party in their honour, highlighting this anniversary year's public-spirited slate of events.
The celebration was held in the Sun Life Building lobby, where one hundred kids, with help from Centraide-sponsored agencies
such as Baobab familial, Carrefour familial Hochelaga, Toujours ensemble and PROMIS, were excited to meet Santa Claus and receive
a gift that had been carefully selected and wrapped by Sun Life employees.
"We were so thrilled to see the children's eyes light up when they spotted Santa Claus and the mountain of gifts in the lobby
of our iconic Sun Life Building! We hope this event helped brighten the holidays for these families who receive assistance from
Centraide-supported agencies. It was a special way to wrap up our building's 100th anniversary festivities," said
Robert Dumas, President and CEO, Sun Life Financial, Quebec.
This year was an eventful and community-focused year, including a VIP gathering for the Sun Life Building's 100th
anniversary, financial contributions to various groups and organizations, and guided tours giving people a rare glimpse into the
beauty and hidden features of this Montreal heritage treasure.
