Jack Vanderkooy touched on the history of this branch in the Newmarket community and the main factor in its success: the staff under the leadership of, George Van Dyk. Chairman Kikkert summarized DUCA’s value proposition – great service with low service charges, competitive interest rates and profit sharing. Richard Senechal conveyed the necessity of maintaining DUCA’s values for the future and summarized the steps taken during this transitional time.
DUCA is rooted in the tradition of creating value for its members, in a cooperative spirit of people helping people.
