Baker & Associates Private Wealth Management

Do you remember your first job?

As we celebrate Labour Day, it's amazing to reflect on how much work, wages, and opportunities have evolved over the last century. For more than 100 years, IG has had the privilege of helping hardworking Canadians turn paycheques into plans, dreams into goals, and goals into financial security.

Whether you were delivering newspapers, scooping ice cream, working on a farm, or stocking shelves, every first job teaches lessons that stay with us for life.
If you have a moment, share your first job (and hourly wage if you can recall)!

Happy Labour Day to all the workers, past and present, who help build our communities every day.

As summer begins to wind down, we thought we'd share a few highlights from the team here at Baker & Associates starting with Kathy:

"This summer has been a balance of learning, family, friendship, and adventure. While I've been busy working toward my Elder Planning Counsellor designation, I've also made time to enjoy all the moments that make summer special!

Because growth isn't just about what happens at your desk. Sometimes the best learning happens out on the water, on the road, or making memories with the people who matter most." - Kathy

We’re excited to be back walking for Canada’s largest fundraiser in support of the Alzheimer Society. As part of IG’s national commitment to this cause, our team at Baker & Associates feels deeply connected to the impact this work has on families in our community.
