CIBC Miracle Day
On the first Wednesday of December each year our wholesale banking sales and trading staff, as well as employees at CIBC Wood Gundy, donate their commissions generated that day to support children's charities in our communities.
Every year on Miracle Day, our employees turn their thoughts and actions into support for children in communities across Canada. By donating the fees and commissions raised on Miracle Day, our employees and clients are making an investment in the future health, education and well-being of children in need all over the world.
