In preparation for this, we are pleased to invite you to a live webinar which will be held this month and will be hosted by Johanne Pagé, Practice Management and Training Specialist. We will introduce you to the revised and improved process for adding and updating banking information and reiterate the alternatives to cheques available to you.

• Investia update with President Louis H. DeConinck;
• Sales reorganization and advisor training with Frédéric Laverdière-Pagé, Vice-President, Business Sales Development at Investia; and
• New partnership with the financial planning firm Conquest Planning.

Please note that our office will be closed tomorrow, Friday, March 29, 2024 due to the statutory holiday. Markets and Fundserv will also be closed, which means that no trading or settlement will take place on that day.
