Thank you to Meridian Credit Union for inviting me to be part of their recent Meridian Small Business Forum. I loved being in a room with so many business owners and managers who were genuinely interested in what comes next for the Canadian and international economies.

Thrilled to speak to JennAir clients at the Living Luxe show in Toronto last week. We talked about the economy and the outlook for spending in these tumultuous times, and did it in lovely surroundings.
Lucky me – got to discuss the future of the economy in one of the loveliest places in the world, Banff, Alberta. Thanks to Canada Life for the invitation!
