The Mackenzie Money Tree, a symbol of building a more sustainable future for all Canadians, pledges up to $100,000 in charitable donations
(TORONTO, ON – September 24, 2021) – In effort to create a more invested world together, today Mackenzie Investments proudly announces the unveiling of The Mackenzie Money Tree, a safe, interactive and in-person experience at Yonge and Dundas Square. The symbolic display aims to reaffirm the company’s commitment to a more sustainably invested future.
The Mackenzie Money Tree, which stands almost five meters in height, provides Torontonians - and all Canadians - with the opportunity to pick one of six charities on September 27 and have Mackenzie Investments donate up to $100,000 . Each donation, valued at $50, will be made by Mackenzie.
The Mackenzie Money Tree brings awareness to Canadians about the importance of sustainable investing and provides them with an opportunity to select a cause that resonates with their personal, sustainable values - ranging from environmental to societal and governance.
