Our annual general meeting was held on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. The evening was a warm and enjoyable one, and we were glad to reconnect with our members and municipal sector partners. We thank them for joining us!
In the 4 days following the AGM, our members cast their votes on the distribution of annual surplus earnings and the election of board members. On Monday, April 28, our scrutineers counted the ballots, and we are happy to share the results.

What are dividends?
This is what being a cooperative is all about, and it is one of the real perks of being a caisse member. In plain terms, a dividend is a sum of money you can receive every year, as long as certain conditions are met. . This money is returned to our individual and business members out of the surplus earnings generated by your caisse and the Desjardins Group at the end of the year. Part of these surplus earnings also go into a fund that gives back to local communities.
