Nicole Zomer attended Community Connections Day in Hamilton, connecting with families and sharing insights on financial considerations for children with disabilities. Families valued the opportunity to discuss this important, yet often overlooked, aspect of planning for the future. If you’re looking for guidance to help protect what matters most, Nicole is here to help.

We capped off the summer with a final exciting Cowanchella event.

Coming together at the Cambridge office, we enjoyed music courtesy of (and DJ) Salah Hamad along with delicious food from the Fo’Cheezy food truck and a giant Kerplunk tournament. The uplifting atmosphere was filled with great conversations and friendly competition.

We’d like to commend the winners of the tournament, Qusai and Brayden. Congratulations on a game well-played!

As Cowanchella comes to a close for the season, we want to express our gratitude to the Employee Engagement Committee for all the care and effort they put into making this event a success. is already looking forward to the next opportunity to connect, celebrate, and have fun together!

As summer winds down, our Ottawa team came together for a favourite annual tradition: Make Your Own Ice Cream Sundae Day. The event offered a fun opportunity for colleagues to connect, enjoy a well-deserved break, and build their dream sundae with a variety of sweet toppings. More than just a seasonal treat, it was a chance to strengthen relationships, celebrate our team culture, and create memorable moments together.

Thank you to the Ottawa Events Committee for bringing this event to life and helping make our workplace a great place to connect, collaborate, and have fun.

Our third annual Backpack Drive was a great success. Thanks to the generosity of employees across our office locations, more children will start the school year with the supplies they need to succeed.

Together, we donated more than 40 backpacks filled with essential school supplies, along with lunch bags, water bottles, and pencil cases, helping more students start the school year ready to learn and thrive.

The organizations receiving these items are:
