Canning's Employees' Credit Union

The Canning's Employees' Credit Union Cooperative Society (CECU) was formally established on October 14th 1952 and employees of the grocery every Friday would make voluntary contributions. On February 2 1953, CECU's inaugural meeting was held and the first President of the Credit Union was elected: Mr. Norbert Grannum, Warehouse Manager. Present were 24 employees of the grocery and supermarket divisions. Within a year, membership grew to 100, shares to approximately $8,000.00 and loans to $7,200.00. Canning's Employees' Credit Union has a very rich history. Our success throughout these last fifty years can be attributed to the dedication and commitment of our founding members. It is because of the solid foundation of brotherhood, economic democracy and individual self-help that, we are among the ten top credit unions in Trinidad and Tobago.
