Association Updates And Events

Chapter News Hometown Tourists

Advocis Vancouver Island tried something different this summer to connect for fun and fellowship. Instead of the traditional golf tournament and sporting events, the chapter hosted two “Tourist in Your Hometown” themed events: a guided stroll along Victoria’s Inner Harbour that featured tales of the Indigenous Lekwungen people who first lived there, and continue to do so, and a tour of Victoria’s Chinatown. Even members born and raised in Victoria were amazed to learn something new about the history of their hometown.

Collective Wisdom

Advocis Simcoe-Muskoka runs a monthly Wisdom Wednesday series as an ongoing learning opportunity for members, featuring a variety of industry topics and speakers. Sessions have focused on investing, succession, tax and financial planning updates, practice management, professional conduct, business practice skills, and even human trafficking. Attendance is usually 25 to 35 people, with a hybrid format in winter months.

Giving Back

Advocis Toronto members came together to prepare backpacks with essential school supplies for underprivileged students in the Greater Toronto Area in an event made possible through partnership with Foresters Financial and in support of the Education Bank. The chapter would like to thank all the volunteers who contributed!
