Second Straight Year on Best Workplaces in British Columbia
VICTORIA – Coastal Community Credit Union is at the top of the heap for the second year in a row.
CCCU CEO Adrian Legin
The largest credit union on Vancouver Island has again been honoured for its workplace culture, earning a spot on the 2021 List of Best Workplaces in British Columbia. The distinction was bestowed following a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work Institute Canada.
“This is a meaningful achievement in an ongoing pandemic,” notes Bruno Dragani, Chief People and Administration Officer for Coastal Community Credit Union (CCCU). “Our employees have always been at the heart of our business, and I thank them for continuing to build a collaborative, safe and supportive work culture throughout the organization as they dealt with workload and staffing challenges due to the massive changes we all encountered over the last year.”
Adrian Legin is the Chief Executive Officer of CCCU.
The workplace list is based on direct feedback from employees of the hundreds of organizations that were surveyed by Great Place to Work.

Kristie Schulz, Assistant Manager, Member Services, Coastal Community Credit Union, is proud the organization received the nod, adding “Pulling together through the challenges of last year took hard work, expertise, teamwork, and tremendous empathy. I appreciate working for an organization that rallies to bring those values into action.”
To be eligible for this list, organizations must be Great Place to Work Certified in the past year and be headquartered in British Columbia. Great Place to Work determined the best based on the overall Trust Index score from these employees.
“Trust is an essential quality in today’s rapidly evolving workplace,” Dragani states. “We build trust by investing in our employees, whether it’s offering learning and development opportunities or wellness resources.
“Creating a culture of leadership, innovation and collaboration is critical, especially under the stresses we face today. Our employees are making a meaningful difference in improving people’s financial health.”
CCCU provides advice and a full range of products, solutions and digital innovations to over 120,000 Vancouver Islanders, and each year, gives back over a half million dollars to support local initiatives and causes.
