The 72nd Annual General Meeting was held on Monday, April 30, 2018 in Toronto. Members and staff joined the management team and Board of Directors for dinner and a presentation of the past year’s financials, and gained insights into our plans for the year ahead.
CEO Andy Doak was pleased to report that 2017 was a very successful year for the Police Credit Union with assets exceeding $292.6 million, an increase of 7.3% over the previous year end. Mr. Doak attributed the strength of the mortgage market in 2017 as the catalyst for the Credit Union having such a strong fiscal year with income exceeding budget and prior year levels.
At this year’s meeting members were asked to consider an amendment to the Credit Union’s existing By-law, Section 5.03 (a) that states: “The Board shall elect annually, from among its number an audit committee, to be composed of three (3) directors. The Audit committee shall have the powers and duties provided in the Act.
The proposed amendment of By-law Section 5.03 (a) shall read: “The Board shall elect annually, from among its number an audit committee, to be composed of a minimum of three (3) directors. The Audit committee shall have the powers and duties provided in the Act.”
The amendment to the by-law was approved, as presented, by the membership at the Annual meeting.
YEAR IN REVIEW• TPCU launched two new residential lending products – CreditMaster® and Primeline.• A commercial lending program was implemented and we are now able to assist
members with the purchase or refinance of an investment property. • A Personal Financial Management (PFM) tool was added to MemberDirect to allow
members to use budgeting and spend tracking tools.• We increased our contribution to our scholarships for young members and awarded
five $1,000 scholarships to young Credit Union members in 2017.• This year 150 new recruits joined TPCU, and of the recruit members, 101 of
them became REWARDS members. An important first step in building long-term relationships with our newest members.

SERVICE MILESTONE Please join us in congratulating Susan Van Winckle, Financial Services Officer at our York Branch, who has reached 30 years of service with the Police Credit Union. Susan was hired by the Police Credit Union on May 9, 1988 and joined our lending department as a Loans Officer at our branch on Yonge Street.
Sue has been a dedicated employee and has successfully completed all four levels offered at PCG (Professional Credit Granting School) between 1989 and 1995. Susan then went on to complete her Mutual Funds licensing in July of 1998 and became a full-time representative registered to sell funds through Credential Asset Management.
The York Branch started in December 1998, with Susan as a Financial Service Officer. She has been an integral member of our team since our inception, developing relationships with York members and employees of the York Regional Police Service. As the longest-standing staff member at our York Branch, Susan is to be commended for her impeccable service standards and for contributing to the branches’ growth (both in membership and assets) and success over the last 20 years.
At this year’s Annual General Meeting, Susan received the Top Sales Performance recognition for 2017.
On behalf of the Board, Management, our team and members, we would like to thank Susan for all of her hard work and dedication throughout the last 30 years.

• A new location was established for our Peel Branch at 7725 Kennedy Road in Brampton and we moved in Spring 2018, reopening April 16.
• The development of our new Halton Branch at 4671 Palladium Way in Burlington was completed in 2017 with our doors officially opening on January 3, 2018. The new branch sits adjacent to the Halton Regional Police Association facility which gives us great exposure to the Halton Regional Police Service.
• Our Call Centre hours of operation were increased to provide members with more opportunities to connect with live help for their financial needs.
INTO THE FUTURE• As we enter our 73rd year, our plans include safe organic growth with our
members, establishing REWARDS membership status, and increasing our membership base through active pursuit of new recruits and civilian hires (and their family members).
• In addition, we will continue to nurture existing relationships with the Police Services and Police Associations to which our members belong, and explore new relationships with other Police Services and their employees within proximity to the GTA.
• We will continue to offer our best possible prices on all our products and services, ensure that we have the latest in product offerings, and provide our members with the newest technological advancements made available by financial institutions.
• We will continue to roll out our new partnership with Collabria MasterCard offering members more credit card options in terms of low fee, no fee, cash back, rewards and more.
