As part of its 125-year anniversary celebration, an insurer is holding a cash giveaway contest in Vancouver.

From Feb 08- 11, iA Financial Group’s “anniversary charity squad” will patrol the streets of Vancouver and hand out $125 in cash to 250 lucky individuals. Members of the squad will be at public places around the city and on the lookout for people who perform a spontaneous good deed.

Such deeds include opening a door for someone, helping someone carry their bags, brush snow off a vehicle of another, and so on.

“The purpose of this initiative is to encourage people to do good deeds and work together in their daily lives, to brighten their day for a few moments, and thank them for 125 successful years,” iA Financial Group president and CEO Yvon Charest said in a statement.
