Based on a 2014 report, 90% of financial advisors reported discussing philanthropy with their high net-worth clients, but only 13% of clients reported having those conversations. Why the disconnect?

Did you know the CRA holds you accountable for tracking TFSA space and will penalize you if you get it wrong?
It's the time of year where we start to hear stories of penalties and overcontributions despite TFSA holders having checked their space on the CRA MyAccount portal. The CRA says this site is for information purposes and holds you accountable to track the accurate space. With 17 years of TFSA history, this is becoming more and more challenging each year!

“The world feels dark right now “. It’s a sentiment I’ve heard from many people for years now, and I think WE are the cause. Are there new wars, new geopolitical tensions, dissension and unrest ? Sure. But are those things new ? Not at all. Historically those same things have been repeating themselves constantly for centuries if not millennia. So why does it feel different now than it did before? Your phone. Your tv. 75 years ago you may have read about local happenings in your newspaper. 30 years ago you spent 30 minutes watching the news. Now you spend hours glued to your phone watching live footage of wars , filmed from a civilians living room . The change isn’t external, it’s your focus and attention to it . What do I encourage people to do when things feel “dark”? Put your phone down, get outside , spend time with people you love, volunteer in your community. The world is actually a beautiful place still .

❓ One of the most common questions we receive:
“When should I take CPP and OAS?”
🚫 One mistake we see far too often is people:
Taking it as early as possible… OR
Treating the decision like it’s purely a math problem
✅ The truth? The right answer starts with you.
Have you thought about:
✔️ What your health looks like
✔️ What other retirement income you’ll have
✔️ Whether you want to spend more now or leave more to your kids
✔️ If you’re concerned about funding private care later in life
💡 There are many factors that influence the “perfect” timing for CPP and OAS—and no two situations are the same.
🤝 Have questions about your plan?
We’re always happy to help you make the right decision for your future.
