For 80 years, Vancity has proudly supported the local businesses that make its communities work, and this year Sweepy Maids is one of them. The credit union’s Newton Community Branch in Surrey has named Sweepy Maids one of its staff-favourite local businesses, featuring the company’s Surrey address and website on a special 2026 flyer marking Vancity’s 80th anniversary, 1946 to 2026.
The recognition places Sweepy Maids alongside seven other Newton-area businesses, including Aggarwal Grocery Hub, Diya Restaurant & Sweets, Gulshan Market, Mann and Co Bakeshop, The British Store, The Greek Corner, and The Saga Photos. It is also a nod to a relationship that runs both ways. Sweepy Maids banks with Vancity, so the credit union’s staff have gotten to know the company not just as a name on a storefront, but as a fellow member of the community it serves.

What the Newton Community Branch Recognition Means
Every year, Vancity branches look for ways to celebrate the small businesses their staff and members actually use and recommend. For 2026, the Newton Community Branch put together a list of staff favourites split across grocery, food, retail, and services, and Sweepy Maids was the service business chosen to represent professional cleaning.
| Business | What They Do |
|---|---|
| Aggarwal Grocery Hub | Grocery |
| Diya Restaurant & Sweets | Restaurant |
| Gulshan Market | Grocery |
| Mann and Co Bakeshop | Bakery |
| Sweepy Maids | Home & commercial cleaning |
| The British Store | Retail |
| The Greek Corner | Restaurant |
| The Saga Photos | Photography |
Being named alongside long-standing neighbourhood businesses like Aggarwal Grocery Hub and The Greek Corner says something specific about the list: it isn’t a paid placement, it’s a set of businesses Vancity’s own staff use and trust enough to recommend to their members.

Why Sweepy Maids Banks Local, With Vancity
Community reinvestment. Vancity is a credit union, not a shareholder-owned bank, so profit isn’t the only thing it optimizes for. Banking with Vancity keeps Sweepy Maids’ own financial relationship inside the same community its crews clean in every day.
Values alignment. Vancity’s model rewards members and community projects rather than outside investors, which fits how Sweepy Maids already approaches hiring and pricing in the neighbourhoods it serves, including through our house cleaning services in Surrey.
Local decision-making. A community branch, like Newton, means the people approving a business account or noticing a company doing good work are the same people who live in that community.
Vancity’s Shared Success Program, Explained
Did You Know? Vancity’s Shared Success program has directed more than $444 million to members and community initiatives since 1994, and the credit union returns 30% of its net profits every year through membership dividends and community partnerships, according to Vancity’s own program overview.
That structure is exactly what the Newton flyer is pointing to when it says Vancity has proudly supported local businesses for 80 years. Featuring Sweepy Maids on a staff-favourites list is a small, visible version of a much larger commitment: keeping money, and recognition, circulating locally.
Sweepy Maids’ Surrey Roots
Sweepy Maids was founded in Surrey, British Columbia, by Parth Katyal, and the Surrey office at 7664 126A St, the same address on Vancity’s flyer, is still where the company’s roots run deepest. Sweepy Maids has since grown into a national residential and commercial cleaning company operating across Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, Kelowna, Calgary, Brampton, Edmonton, and Montreal, but Surrey is where it started, and where recognition like this means the most.
