Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Chantelle G. Meriam Serving Summerland and area for 19 years. Contact for a complimentary consultation - 250-494-7007. Our deep roots in Summerland strengthen everything we do.

Money isn't just about numbers—it's about creating freedom, security, and options in your life. Our approach begins with understanding what truly matters to you, then crafting a strategy that brings clarity to your unique situation. Over my 19 years in the industry, I have earned the CFP® designation and CIM® designation, allowing me to serve clients with more complex needs. I'm also a Fellow of C

SI (FCSI®), an honour reserved for an exclusive group that demonstrate leadership, integrity, and dedication to clients and the industry. What distinguishes our practice is the level of attention each client receives. We take pride in building relationships through proactive communication and regular check-ins throughout the year, always focused on following through on our commitments and attending to the important details that make a difference in your financial life. At our Edward Jones office in Sungate Plaza, by Nesters, we've created a welcoming environment where clients quickly feel at home. Behind the scenes, care and attention go into every detail, allowing us to focus on creating strategies that are tailored to your individual needs. We specialize in navigating life's pivotal financial moments—retirement planning, tax-efficient strategies, estate considerations, and investment management. While we excel at addressing complex financial needs, we deliberately take time to ensure there's a strong fit between our specialized services and each client we serve. My own journey through life's milestones—purchasing a home, raising a family, co-parenting, managing a business, supporting aging parents, and experiencing loss—has deepened our understanding of the challenges you might face. These experiences have reinforced our belief in having a clear financial plan. Raising my daughter Rylee here and participating in community events with my partner Nick has built a foundation of trust with neighbours who've become clients. This visibility creates a level of accountability and connection in our practice. If you're considering guidance for your financial future, we invite you to connect with our office to explore how our personalized planning approach might align with your goals. Together, we can help bring clarity and direction to your financial journey.

Last week's blowout U.S. payroll report underlined the improvement in the U.S. labour market this year, with hiring accelerating and broadening across sectors, signaling a more durable foundation for growth. Canadian employment data were also surprisingly strong, reversing some of the weakness in hiring this year.

Edward Jones Canada and Gallup just released (2026) national research on financial fulfillment in Canada, here’s what the data shows:

➡️ Only 12% of Canadians are financially fulfilled

➡️ 47% feel financially conflicted, feeling both gratitude and stress about money at the same time

➡️ 41% are in consistent financial stress

What stands out most: in an analysis controlling for net worth, age, and other factors, professional advisors were the only source of financial guidance with a positive association with financial fulfillment.

Guidance from other sources including friends, family, personal internet research, news, social media, and AI had no or negative relationships with fulfillment.

If you're not sure your money is working toward what matters to you, that's worth a conversation. Reach out, I'd love to help you.

Proud to support Balance School of Performing Arts with a gift basket donation for their upcoming year-end show fundraiser.

Funds raised during the four performances on June 13th and 14th will help support a group of young performers travelling to Vancouver in 2026 for additional training and educational opportunities.

It's always rewarding to support programs that help young people pursue their passions and continue developing their talents.

Looking forward to attending one of the shows and supporting these talented young performers.

Wishing everyone a successful fundraiser and a great weekend of performances.

Financial planning is often misunderstood.

It is not a product, a one-time document, or simply choosing investments. Real financial planning is about designing a life you truly want to live and understanding how your money can support that.

The process starts with your goals, priorities, and values, not the markets. From there, financial planning brings together multiple components, including:

➤ Cash flow and day-to-day decisions
➤ Protection strategies
➤ Tax considerations
➤ Retirement planning
➤ Estate considerations
➤ Investments

Financial planning is ongoing and adaptive. It evolves as your life changes, helping you prepare for the future.

Reach out and I can help bring these pieces together in a thoughtful, coordinated way so your plan continues to reflect what matters most to you.

Friday night, heels off, finishing up a couple welcome cards before the weekend.

Very thankful to welcome two new families to our branch this past week. The little personal touches still matter to me, even at the end of a long week.

As we know, markets this year have been robust. In fact, despite near 10% corrections in both the S&P 500 and Canadian TSX in March, and ongoing uncertainty around the Iran war and oil prices, stocks are back near all-time highs.

Happy Friday!

The Victoria Day long weekend is just around the corner.

Before you head out to enjoy it, a quick note: our office will be closed this upcoming Monday, May 18th. We’ll be here today until 2:30 pm, then back to assist you on Tuesday, May 19th at 8:30 am.

Hopefully the weather cooperates a little this weekend, but either way, we hope everyone enjoys a chance to slow down and recharge.

Have a great long weekend!

One of the best parts of this business is the relationships built along the way.

A client came in for their annual review today and surprised Katie and I with this beautiful arrangement of flowers from their garden to share with us. Such a thoughtful gesture.

Financial planning is important, of course. But what has always meant the most to me are the long-term relationships, trust, and connection that grow over the years.

Very grateful for the amazing clients we have the privilege of working with every day. 🌸
