Rebranded CIBC Caribbean Buries Time Capsule Until 2074

CIBC Caribbean has finalised its rebranding with the encasement of a capsule filled with mementos in a slot in the signage bollard in the yard of the Warrens Head Office in Barbados.

CIBC Caribbean says this was the final phase of the events held to officially rebrand the organisation.

A letter to the CIBC Caribbean team in 2074 from CEO Mark St. Hill, a napkin signed by Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley and the President and CEO of CIBC Victor Dodig, staff shirts, photos, documents, videos and a cutting from a mahogany tree in the Head Office at Warrens are among the mementos that were placed in the Time Capsule.

During the ceremony, CEO Mark St. Hill shared the copy of his letter to the future team telling them, “we expect that by the time you read this, our company would have undergone even more transformation as our region, our world and our clients changed and evolved.”

In addition to the CEO’s letter, a letter from the youngest employee of the bank, Alvontae Garland of Turks and Caicos Islands was also placed into the capsule.

The capsule is set to be opened in 50 years.
