REFRAME Meridian Credit Union has a flagship social impact initiative (launched in 2024) called REFRAME that aims to address Ontarios skilled trades shortage, the housing affordability crisis, and economic barriers faced by equity?deserving communities. We support social enterprises with proven training models and combine financial confidence coaching, financial solutions, and wraparound services to drive individual, community, and economic impact - through job creation, sustainable living, and housing solutions. We partner with leading social enterprises like Building Up (Toronto) and Community Builders (Barrie). Lobbying efforts aim at expanding this program through funding support.
