Situation in Ukraine

I am sure that by now everyone has heard about Russia invading Ukraine and has had a chance to digest this news. My Newsletters are always written a couple of weeks before they go out so I expect that there will be a number of developments by the time you get this. Hopefully, the conflict will have eased up by then. My plan had been to send a newsletter celebrating the fact that things with Covid had improved dramatically. Instead of being able to talk about that, almost all of my conversations have revolved around the war in Eastern Europe. I've already spoken to many of you about this conflict but please reach out to me if you have any questions on how it relates to your portfolio.

Tax time is right around the corner now and that means you will be getting a number of Tax Slips and RRSP Contribution Receipts in the mail. Please remember that companies don't have to send these out to you in early March. Some of them won't come until later in the month and some may not arrive until early April. The deadline to submit personal income tax is April 30th and companies can't always issue these earlier in year. We are happy to track these down for you if you haven't gotten them closer to that April 30th deadline!

Stay well and be kind to each other.
