Henry Jansen

You are here

A businessman, a community supporter and a firm believer in the power of credit unions to effect positive change in the lives of their members, Henry Jansen is truly a man who has made a significant contribution to the Canadian credit union system. Inducted into the Canadian Credit Union Association's (CCUA) Hall of Fame in 2018, Henry spent 38 years working tirelessly to build the credit union system at the local, provincial and national level; serving on all three stages.

Henry's passion has been credit unions.

Locally, Henry helped guide a number of mergers between credit unions within BC, culminating in the mergers that created First West Credit Union, which is today the fifth largest credit union in Canada. Henry's leadership at all three levels has played a vital role in creating a credit union system that is vibrant, successful and thriving.

During his time as a credit union leader, Henry lived by and advocated for one of the most important of the cooperative principles: concern for community. Sitting on several boards, Henry also served as a Director of the First West Foundation and as a member of the Finance & Investment Committee.

Henry's unwavering commitment to the provincial and federal credit union systems, its communities and its people make him an outstanding First West Credit Union Leaders Fund Inductee.
