As summer begins, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your financial goals and ensure your portfolio is positioned for long-term success. Below, we’ll share some timely insights and planning tips to help you make the most of this warm and wonderful season, both personally and financially.
Our Summer Hours
On long weeks throughout the summer (and all the way through Thanksgiving), we’re closed on the Friday or Monday before the holiday. On a day when the office is closed but the markets are open, your advisor will be checking email throughout the day for any urgent matters and will return your call ASAP if you need to leave a voicemail. Our office hours are also always on our website if you would like to plan ahead!

Staff Wellness Day
Our team recently took a day to recharge and build some team memories and new skills. We enjoyed experiencing the treatments the Vortex Wellness Centre offers for inner and outer wellness. The team at Vortex was amazing at giving us a new and fascinating experience!
We then moved on to join Alissa Price of the Contemplative Cook for an amazing cooking lesson in pierogi making. Fun was had by all, and the end results included some new skills and a delicious dinner.
These days help us keep our team strong, happy, and healthy to better serve our clients!
