(TSX: SLF) (NYSE: SLF) is proud to partner with 100 génies,

knowledge of different ways of achieving financial well-being. This
is one more of Sun Life's many initiatives to help build
sustainable, healthier communities for life.

well-being and financial planning," said Robert Dumas, President and Chief Executive
