It takes a community to create lasting change. At Canada Gives, we’re honoured to spend our days working with a group of dedicated and generous philanthropists and their families, who are on a constant search for new ways to make a difference. This past year they did exactly that, and more. They not only supported […]

With Budget 2022, the federal government has proposed changes to the rules applying to the minimum annual disbursement quota, with the intended effect of increasing money flowing to and within the charitable sector. The question is: Will these changes have the intended effect, or will they simply diminish the long-term support available to charities from […]
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shocked the world and prompted swift international recriminations.

According to many investment industry leaders, financial advisors in Canada are facing a significant business threat. As enormous wealth continues to transfer between generations—Manulife has estimated the figure at approximately $1 trillion between 2016 and 2026—advisors run the risk of losing long-standing client relationships when family assets pass from the wealth builder generation to their […]
Generational succession isn’t just a consideration for wealthier families looking for the most effective way to pass wealth to their heirs. It has a major impact on advisors, as well. Financial planning and portfolio management firms—even lawyers and accountants—spend years (sometimes decades) building relationships with wealth builders. But when those individuals pass away, their children […]
