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.

Recent headlines about Middle East tensions and oil supply disruptions have created short-term market uncertainty.

Here's what I want you to know: markets experienced a pullback from some early 2026 gains in March, but longer-term returns remain strong. Average annual stock returns over the past three years have ranged from 13-25%, even after the recent pullback.

The reality? Periodic volatility is completely normal across market cycles. The S&P 500 typically sees a 10% correction about once a year. We didn't see that through Q1, so this isn't unexpected; it's healthy market behavior.

Rather than reacting to headlines, I encourage you to revisit what really matters: your comfort with risk, your time horizon, and your financial goals. These drive your portfolio design, not the news cycle.

If recent volatility has you questioning your strategy, or if you haven't reviewed your plan in a while, let's talk. We can walk through whether your current approach still aligns with where you want to go—and discuss any adjustments that might make sense for your unique situation.

June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to honour the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada.

Like the related Indigenous philosophy that encourages individuals consider the impact of their decisions seven generations into the future, our purpose-driven firm strives to create positive generational impact.

This month offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and recognize the strength and resilience of Indigenous communities. Understanding the past and celebrating the present helps support a future built on respect and meaningful relationships.

The way most people think they spend money and the way they actually spend it can be surprisingly different. You might assume you're only spending a certain amount on dining out or subscriptions, but when you track it, the reality often looks quite different.

That's why the first step in creating a balanced family budget is simply knowing where your money goes each month. Not judging it. Not changing it yet. Just understanding it. Track your income, your essential expenses, your debt payments, and yes, the money you spend on things that make life enjoyable.

Having a clear picture of your spending habits can help you gain more control. And having more control can help reduce financial stress and can help you make better decisions about what matters most to your family.

If you'd like help getting a clear view of your financial situation and creating a plan that works for your family, reach out. We can walk through it together.

These considerations can help you get a handle on how you spend money each month.

Recent market volatility has been unsettling, but this moment can offer strategic opportunities.

Here are three opportunities to consider:

• Earn more income from bonds: Take advantage of today’s higher interest rates to potentially generate more income from fixed income investments.
• Use losses to reduce taxes: Apply investment losses to offset gains you’ve already realized, which can help lower your tax bill.
• Invest at better prices: Add to your long-term investment mix when markets offer more attractive entry points.

I work with clients to ensure their plans stay aligned with their long-term goals, emphasizing quality investments, diversification, and maintaining a long-term perspective.

Let's review your portfolio together and keep your financial strategy on track.

Trying to predict the perfect moment to invest is tempting. But here's what history tells us: the best market days often show up during the most uncertain times, exactly when many investors are sitting on the sidelines.

Missing even a small number of strong market days over several decades can create a meaningful gap in long-term results. The challenge is that no one can consistently predict which days those will be.

This is why staying invested matters. A long-term approach allows you to participate in market growth over time, rather than risking being out of the market when opportunities emerge.

If you're unsure about staying invested or want to understand what approach fits your timeline, reach out. We can walk through it together.

When considering where to invest your hard-earned money, it's natural to wonder: should I wait for conditions to settle before investing?
