/CNW/ - CIBC announced today it is donating $20,000 to United Way Northwest Territories to
support relief efforts in Hay
River and Kátł'odeeche First Nation in Northwest Territories, where breakaway ice
waters have caused unprecedented flooding and put thousands of
residents at risk.
"The situation in Hay River and
Kátł'odeeche First Nation is truly devastating, with flooding in
the South Slave region displacing hundreds of families from their
homes, and damaging businesses and other crucial
infrastructure," said Stephen

Corporate Affairs, CIBC. "We join our clients and team members in
Hay River in helping ensure the
people of this region have immediate access to critical resources
as they look to transition from response to recovery."

aid.
