In the mid-1990s a steering committee assembled to secure a new credit union charter. Their dedication and efforts resulted in the first of many milestones for our credit union: Italian Canadian Savings & Credit Union Limited was officially incorporated on April 17, 2000 as Ontario Corporation #1103842.
