Servus Credit Union’s top 1% performers were treated to an unforgettable experience at the President’s Award of Excellence (PAE) 2025, held at the stunning Chateau Lake Louise. Over three days, recipients enjoyed a thoughtfully curated program of wellness activities, guided adventures, and celebratory moments, all building up to an elegant awards gala evening where recipients got to meet and mingle with upper executives and keynote speaker, Jon Montgomery, 2010 Canadian skeleton gold medalist and host of The Amazing Race Canada.
