Good afternoon, At CBIG our biggest assets are our employees and clients. In response to the current COVID- 19 pandemic and to minimize exposure, CBIG is temporarily closing all offices to the public effective Tuesday March 17, 2020. During this time, we encourage email, telephone and video communications to facilitate business and address inquiries in a timely and efficient manner. CBIG has multiple technical resources available to facilitate remote conversations and can ass...ist you if you have questions. Furthermore, effective immediately in all CBIG offices, all non-emergency travel is cancelled. For employees working in our offices, we are implementing a degree of social distancing as well as other initiatives and preventative measures. With the current situation evolving daily, CBIG is proceeding with an abundance of caution and will review the situation and adjust precautions daily in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO), provincial and local health authorities. Please refer to the WHO website at https://www.who.int/emergen/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 for factual information about COVID-19 and how to protect yourself. If you or a member of your family are feeling stressed or anxious during these unprecedented times, we encourage you to reach out to your Employee Family Assistance Program (EFAP) for support. Other ideas are to take a break from the news, practice mindful exercise to reduce stress and use technology to check in with friends and family.

In 2018, Katie Stymiest won her 'A' level bucket list item - a TRIP TO DISNEYLAND WITH HER FAMILY - courtesy of our amazing title sponsor Wood Wheaton Supercen...tre! HERE IS WHAT KATIE HAD TO SAY ABOUT HER TRIP... "Everyone will tell you Disneyland is magical. And I always thought that it was a great marketing campaign, but just that, marketing. Our first day there as we entered those golden gates to Disneyland I thought wow, it really is magical. Every detail, every character, every ride was meticulously planned out and cared for. Experiencing the magic through the eyes of my children was a gift that I will carry in my heart forever. This was a blessing, that if not for winning The Bucket List prize, would never had for my family." -KATIE Grab your tickets today for a chance to WIN YOUR bucket list items at the Bucket List PG Gala 2019 fundraiser for Prince George Hospice Society at http://bit.ly/bucketlistpg #bucketlistpg
