Together we're better

Helping Canadian communities bring their passions to life makes our country a richer place to live. That's why we prioritize our support of community initiatives in kids’ hockey, marathons and the arts. These areas celebrate the uniqueness and diversity that make Canada great.

Kids’ Hockey

Through our Community Hockey Sponsorship Program we sponsor over 8,000 teams exclusively through our branches. Events focused on kids' community hockey teams, leagues or association sponsorship may be considered for sponsorship.


For sponsorship inquiries, please contact your local Scotiabank branch


Be sure to review the Sponsorship Eligibility Criteria before submitting your proposal.

Marathons

Through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge, our marathons help create a stronger future for young people and build vibrant communities across Canada. We consider marathons that appeal to a wide variety of audiences and are open to everyone from casual runners to serious marathoners.


Make sure you review the Sponsorship Eligibility Criteria before submitting your proposal.
