Join us as we celebrate the 11th annual Financial Planning Week which takes place across Canada from November 17 - 23, 2019. This year we explore REINVENTING RELEVANCE at a series of networking events and sessions where you can learn what's new, who's who, and plan your future in Financial Planning.
The Celebration Dinner attracts a large cross-section of high-profile decision makers in the financial services industry, practitioners in the financial planning profession, regulators and representatives from all levels of government. This year’s event will include remarks from Ontario's Minister of Finance, the Honourable Rod Phillips, a keynote address from Canadian Olympian and motivational speaker Caroline Ouellette, and will be emceed by Erica Sigurdson, an award-nominated stand-up comedian, writer and producer.
Conflicts of Interest
Identifying and managing conflicts of interest is a common challenge for professionals, including financial planners. This year's Ethics Breakfast Session will explore conflicts of interest arising from
a variety of situations, such as joint engagements and referral arrangements. Panelists will examine your professional and ethical obligations through reference to case studies, providing practical tips and insights to help you understand your
obligations as a professional financial planner and the intersection between professional and regulatory obligations.
The Panel will be moderated by Damienne Lebrun-Reid, Executive Director of the FP Canada Standards Council™, and will feature:
