Senior proves that creativity doesn’t end with retirement
Ninety-one-year-old Jack Tufts spent a lifetime farming and in his spare time he was an avid inventor. There wasn’t anything Jack couldn’t build. He now spends his days at Victoria Park Lodge where he displays his woodworking. Surrounded by his creations, Jack shows how he can make the wooden rooster, one of his unique precision-designed gadgets, dance. PHOTO/DARCI SEMESCHUK by Darci Semeschuk Ninety-one-year-old Jack Tufts spent a lifetime farming and in his spare time he was an avid inventor. There wasn’t anything Jack couldn’t build. He now spends his days at Victoria Park Lodge where he displays his woodworking. The unique and imaginative creations draw interest from everyone and if you have time to sit down with him, Jack will explain exactly how he came up with each and every design. Jack is well known for his extensive refinishing of antique automobiles. Some would say they are better then brand new. He has restored four Model Ts and when he couldn’t get parts, he made them. Possibly one of the most difficult items he has made would be the wheels for his Model T. Just creating to jig, bending the wood and carving the spokes took him nearly two years but it is as precise as if it just rolled out of the factory. “I couldn’t find wheels to fit and being from 1917, there wasn’t any coming out of the factory so I just decided to make my own,” he explained when he said it took two years just to make one
wheel. “It was a bit time consuming.” Jack was born in Elgin back in 1925 and when he wasn’t farming, he was inventing some rig or another. His favourite one was a snow plane he made out of a frame and a car engine that he cut in half. It had no bottom and he had to lift it over the fences but he loved it. “There was no protection from the wind and could that thing ever go. I could catch the rabbits!” he joked. “I got cold but it sure was fun.” Back in the 1940s he pulled a school van with his snow plane! As time went on Jack retired and his inventions became quite a bit smaller. He started making wooden items with great precision. His rolling pins are made to exact measurements, all by hand and with equipment he created for the job. He does admit to using a lathe and a router at times when he needs to be really precise. He has made puppets and dancing poultry and delights anyone who stops to have a look. Since his stroke, Jack admits that he can’t get his chicken dancing as well as he used to but when he could, that bird could
Jack Tufts is seen here with just a few of the unique designs he has created. Each one is hand made and required precision and skill, both of which he has plenty. Always an inventor, Jack says retirement doesn’t have to be boring! PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER move! Jack doesn’t sell his creations although if he did, the demand would be great. He keeps a few on display at the Lodge and has others in his shop. He admits he doesn’t make many anymore but he still has quite a stockpile. Most of them will be gladly acquired by his grandchildren so don’t look to add any of them to your collections and if you do have one, count yourself lucky. Stop down at Victoria Park Lodge and check out Jack’s display, you won’t be disappointed.

One eye on the past, one eye on the future
by Lon Turner, EDO Souris-Glenwood Community Development Corporation A big part of economic development is a focus on job creation, workforce development, building capacity for business growth and investment. Over the last six years the Souris-Glenwood Municipality has seen a lot of investment flowing into the community. This investment as outlined below has improved economic diversity, maintained and expanded infrastructure, and increased the ability to meet the needs of residents, tourists and businesses: • The new swinging bridge; • The new skateboard park; • Upgrades to the Avalon Theatre; • An amalgamation of the Rural Municipality and Township; • The new residential
neighbourhood development; • New playground equipment at Victoria Park; • Many restaurants and businesses changing hands; • Co-op Fuel Centre; • Enbridge expansion; • Museum train simulator expansion; • Highway 21 redevelopment; • Many new terminal-sized grain bins scattered across the municipality; • Upgrades to the school; • The new pool. My apologies if I missed anything.
Looking forward, there are some new and exciting projects that will further increase investment in our community like the expansion of the COOP and the potential development of the new hotel and senior’s complex. To keep this momentum going and expand our capacity to attract, receive

On Wednesday, January 20, we again used seven tables to play Cribbage. Now, two weeks ago, we had a tie for the third prize. This Wednesday we had a tie for first place. It was between Alva and Don Doherty and Betty Devins and Joan Phillips. The third spot was won by Amelia Morden and Cindy Janz. Donna Scott held the lucky ticket on the 50-50 draw. Again, on Thursday, January 21, we had 24 optimistic noisemakers out to play Bingo. Most of the noise was made by Barb Gordon. She shouted three times and was able to win on the Looney Number to make an extra $46. Double yells came from Cindy Janz, Marge Rose, and Marion Morris. Mari-

on’s last holler was on the Little House which amounted to $33. On Friday, January 22, our meat draw was well attended. Able to take home two meat packages were Donna Bisson, Keith Davison, and Dave Johnson. Eileen Williams had the winning number on the 50-50 draw and received $112. The pot for the “Chase the Ace� was worth $2,587.50 and the chance to chase down the Ace went to Ardelle Woods. She wasn’t fast enough and, thus, we will have it ready to go again next week. The supper tonight was barbecued ribs, rice, salad, and apple crisp. Our curling funspeil is being planned for Saturday, March 19. Watch for more details in the coming weeks.

Letters to the Editor This Week in
Dear editor, Some days I wonder why I continue to subscribe to the Plaindealer since I left Souris in 1959 - 57 years ago! The January 8, 2016, paper answered my question. When I read about the auction to raise funds for Braden Pettinger, the Community Supper by Kirkup Agencies and the free Customer Appreciation Supper put on by Chicken Chef, I realized how great our small town is. The spirit and people of Souris remain strong and I am always proud to say “I grew up in Souris”. Last summer when I visited my hometown in Landowner draw for moose Dear editor, As a young hunter born and raised in southwestern Manitoba, I have experienced moose populations increasing as I have grown and am curious as to why there is not a landowner’s draw for moose in our area. As a youth, I began hunting whitetailed deer and grew to become an avid hunter of all kinds of game but never moose. Back in 2008 when I began hunting big game, it was rare to spot a moose so it was logical that we weren’t hunting them then. However, moose populations have now
June with my husband, son, and granddaughter, we were on a search for a souvenir that had the Town name on it. It was a Sunday so our hunt was limited but a young clerk in the Hardware store dug deep in the basement for winter touques that said “SOURIS, Come for a visit - stay for a lifetime”. We drove away, each wearing our touque, with a feeling that our visit had been well worthwhile and my Town did not disappoint. Thanks Souris. Donna (Lewis) Perrin Victoria, BC
increased and in the past two white-tailed deer seasons, I have seen more moose than deer in our area. The Manitoba Hunting Guide states that from 2012-2015 the resident moose general (rifle) license sales have decreased from 2,700 to 2,400. I believe that this decrease in license sales is not due to decreasing population as in most cases but due to residents not being selected for the draw. Specifically, local residents are not getting opportunities to hunt, which as a result, shows decreasing interest in big game hunting overall. As an avid young hunter, I would like

to see more opportunity to hunt big game such as moose in my area. A landowner’s draw would create tags for many people, both landowners and residents, who would otherwise not get drawn. Landowners provide the areas in which these animals live, they supply some of the feed for these animals, and they put time and money into fixing the fences that these large animals are constantly damaging. Creating a landowner draw for moose would give back to the farmers as well as encourage new land owners to join the exciting sport of hunting. Sincerely, Adelle Gervin
History
by Tyler Bugg January 24: The infamous Emperor Caligula of the Roman Empire, best known for his cruelty and his eccentricity (even making his horse a Senator), is assassinated by the Praetorian Guard. His less crazy uncle Claudius is proclaimed Emperor. (41 AD) January 25: Although the Cold War is over, Russia nearly launches their entire nuclear arsenal after mistaking a Norwegian research rocket for a US Trident missile being launched from a submarine. Thankfully, World War III is averted. (1995) January 26: The world’s largest diamond, named the Cullinan, is found at the Premier Mine near Pretoria, South Africa. It weighs 3,106.75 carats, worth today nearly $400 million USD. In comparison, the size of a diamond in an engagement ring is on average 0.9 carats. (1905) January 27: In what would later be called the “Canadian Caper,” six American diplomats hiding in the Canadian Embassy in Tehran, Iran, after the US Embassy was put under siege, were able to escape with fake Canadian passports and posing as members of a film crew. (1980) January 28: Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, UK, is the first person in history to be convicted for speeding, going a shocking 8 mph (13 km/h) with a 2 mph speed limit, and is fined one shilling, plus costs. (1896) January 29: Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is removed from office following his conviction of corruption, including an attempt to sell the Senate seat formerly held by the then President-Elect Barack Obama. (2009) January 30: In the first assassination attempt on the President of the United States, Richard Lawrence tries to shoot Andrew Jackson. His first pistol misfired, as did the second (the humid weather caused the gunpowder and the pistol to both fail). Andrew Jackson, unscathed by the attack, proceeds to brutally beat Lawrence with his cane, until both were finally restrained. Lawrence is found not-guilty by reason of insanity, and is locked up for the rest of his life (1835)

submitted by District 3 Commander, The Royal Canadian Legion As you know, the Manitoba/Northwestern Ontario Command of The Royal Canadian Legion contracted with Fenety Marketing to produce books containing names, pictures and stories of military people from Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. We believe that our military people deserve this kind of recognition. These books are titled “Military Service Recognition Book” and distributed at no charge by Legion branches. To date they have produced six books. The thousands of wonderful stories in these books have proved to be very interesting and meaningful. These books, with their stories, are treasured by many individuals. The Command wish to keep this worthy endeavour with Fenety moving forward. Fenety is currently soliciting so that they can produce our 7th Military Recognition Book. However, they are almost out of submissions. If you know of any military person, man or woman, whose story has not been published in one of these books, please write up their story and submit it to your closest Legion Branch or go on the Command website at www.mbnwo.ca/ fenety.htm Please spread this word to your neighbours and acquaintances. We need new stories to fill the pages in the 7th volume and hopefully upcoming volumes. Thank you.

Varsity girls face toughest test to date
submitted The varsity girls basketball team faced their toughest test of the year Tuesday in Virden. The Bears opened the game on a 6-0 run but our ladies would get rolling when Aly Kowalchuk nailed a three pointer. The teams played some great back and forth basketball as the team stayed with the high scoring Bears trailing by only 7 points with 4 minutes left in the third quarter. However, Virden hit three consecutive three pointers to end the third quarter and opened up a lead they would not give up. The girls battled hard until the end but fell 6842. Jamie Sherritt had 12 points and 8 rebounds and Aly added 8 points in the loss. Last weekend the ladies travelled to Brandon for the Neelin Invitational Tournament. The Sabres opened with a 49-23 win over the Hamiota Huskies. Tanja Gohl scored 13 points in the win with Aly adding 10.
Crocus was their opponent in the semifinal on Saturday morning. The ladies played hard to begin the game and led for much of the first half, however, turnovers and poor finishing around the hoop made for a Crocus comeback. With the Plainsmen leading by 7 with 2 minutes left, the girls mounted one last charge. With time running out the ladies missed a three pointer to tie the game and fell 5350. Jamie had a doubledouble scoring 13 points and adding 12 rebounds. Aly added 11 points. In the third place game the ladies faced another Brandon 4A team from Vincent Massey. The team bounced back with authority as they
pulled away early and ran out to a convincing 73-49 victory. Kendra Roberts scored 13 points and added 8 rebounds. Kristen Leverington and Emily Simon added 6 points and 8 rebounds each. Kaylee Butterfield was outstanding at the guard position all weekend and for her efforts was named to the Tournament All-star Team.

Peewee girls dominate on home ice
Southwest Cougars by Grant Moffatt The Cougars had an up and down week. They knocked off the second place Winnipeg Wild, followed up with a home ice loss to Pembina Valley before dropping the Yellowhead Chiefs 3-1 in Shoal Lake and then battled back to defeat the Parkland Rangers 4-3 in a shootout Sunday afternoon in Souris. The Cougars out shot the Pembina Valley Hawks on Wednesday night 50-16 as Aaron Brunn turned aside 48 shots for a 3-2 win. The teams played a scoreless first period. Everett Bestland opened the scoring at the 5:37 mark of the second when he beat Brady Gordon to open the scoring. McCullough Park evened the score before the period ended from Brian Harris and John Patmore at the 17 minute mark on the Cougars 41st shot of the game. The third period saw Everett Bestland score a two on one shorthanded goal at the six minute mark. Zack Wytinck banged one off the post on a Cougar power play with Brian Harris picking up the helper at 7:07. The Hawks scored the game winner 11 seconds later when Travis Penner found the net. The Cougars saw goaltending win a game for the Hawks. Friday night, in Shoal Lake with the Chiefs hunting for Cougars, saw the teams play a scoreless first until the 19 minute mark when Jared McCorrister banged in a loose puck from Tristen Cross and Dawson Waddell to open the scoring. John Patmore found the net 43 seconds later when he buried a Brian Harris feed for a two nothing period lead. The second period was much like the first before Tucker Scantelbery scored a shorthanded goal beating Rylan Rommeleare in the Cougar net. The teams went back and forth the rest of the game before Dawson Waddell iced the game, from John Patmore and Brian Harris, from a faceoff to the left of the Cougars net scoring an empty net marker with Riley Lamb on the bench. Sunday afternoon the short staffed Parkland Rangers came to Town and took the Cougars to a shoot out. McCullough Park opened the scoring two minutes into the game. John Townsend evened the score before the period ended with a power play goal. The Rangers scored a pair of goals in the second for a 3-1 lead with the third one with the man advantage. Jared McCorrister got the Cats back into the game, from Dexter Dalgleish and Blake Jameson, at the 18 minute mark of the period. The Cougars scored the only goal of the third when John Patmore buried the puck from Dawson Waddell and Tristen Cross, sending the game to overtime, which settled nothing. Tristen Cross was the only shooter to score in the shoot out as the Cats came from behind for a 4-3 win. Rylan Rommelaere faced 32 shots in the game coming back strong after a shaky second period. Jared McCorrister was the Subway Player of the Game. The Cougars hit the road for a pair of games in Kenora next weekend followed by a midweek game in Brandon Mark Sunday, February 7, on your calendar as the Cougars will host a Bowl Brunch in the Kirkup Lounge prior to the game with the Central Plains Capitals
The Souris Elks Peewee female hockey team hosted Antler River last weekend and had a convincing win. After the final whistle, the score was 8-1. Paige Kozak netted four goals on the day. The girls have played 11 league games this year, earning a 9-2 record. Overall, the girls are 20-7-1 including tournament and league games. The first game of playoffs will be against Brandon February 4, at 6:40 p.m. in Souris. The team features 11 minor and three major Peewee players. The girls have had a great year and look forward to defending their title as league champs. PHOTO/DEBBIE BUTLER

The Carberry News-Express Driver attempts to flee and assaults officer On January 20, 2016, at approximately 7:00 a.m., Carberry RCMP were called to a single motor vehicle collision, two kilometres east of Carberry on Highway 1 in the RM of North Cypress-Langford. Upon arrival, the officer found the female driver of the vehicle to be in possession of a minor quantity of drugs and drug paraphernalia, and subsequently arrested her. Through additional checks on paperwork located in the car, RCMP discovered the driver produced a false identity. When the driver realized this, she put the vehicle in motion and attempted to flee. In the attempt to flee, an officer was dragged by the vehicle as he tried to disengage the ignition. A second officer assisted, and the female assaulted both officers who were eventually able to subdue her. Caley Elizabeth Steele, 27, of Lac du Bonnet is charged with assault on a police officer x2, assault with a weapon on police officer, escape custody, dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving while prohibited x2, fail to comply probation orders x3, identity fraud and fail to comply recognizance. The Roblin Review Bogus bills turn up A number of counterfeit $50 bills have turned up in cash registers in Roblin. The first bogus bill was passed January 19 at the Parkway Co-op Food Store. The Co-op notified the RCMP who in turn emailed a photo of the fake fifty to the Chamber office with a warning for businesses to be on the look out. A number of the bills showed up since. They are easily identified because of the special paper used by the Bank of Canada to produce bills and other security features. RCMP are investigating. The Killarney Guide Mother and daughter stranded for hours in cold after crash A Boissevain mother and her little girl are recovering in hospital after a horrific car accident near Dunrea left them stranded overnight in freezing temperatures. Twenty-six-year-old Kristen Hiebert is being called a hero after scaling a snow packed embankment, freezing cold and with multiple injuries, to save the life of her four-year-old daughter, Avery. The crash happened Sunday night while crossing the small bridge just east of Dunrea on Highway 223. Badly injured from the crash, Hiebert was able to crawl to her daughter and cover her to keep her warm on the snowy ground beside the mangle vehicle. Temperatures dipped to around -25C overnight with the wind chill. By morning, Kristen mustered up the strength to crawl up the bank to the road. Tina Dubyts of Killarney was the first to spot Hiebert who was clinging to the guardrail of the bridge at approximately 6:50 a.m. Monday morning.
I have a pair of ‘historical’ novels for you today, The Moor’s Account, by Laila Lalami, and The Relic Master, by Christopher Buckley. The Moor’s Account is what is generally referred to as a ‘sweeping saga’. It is also based on true events. Briefly: in 1527 a ship sailed from Spain with the goal of claiming much of the Gulf Coast of the United States for Spain. Poorly led and beset with all manner of problems, the crew of over five hundred was rapidly reduced to just four people: the ship’s treasurer, a nobleman, a young explorer and a Moorish slave. The first three of these eventually left testimony as to the events that had occurred on this journey, but the slave was considered inconsequential and his story was never recorded. This novel tells his side of the story. The ‘Moor’, called Estebanico by his ultimate ‘owners’, is in fact a Moroccan. Given the burden of supporting his mother and siblings in a time of devastating drought, he sells himself into slavery so that his family could have the money to survive. Taken first to Spain he thrives for a time working for a merchant. But ultimately the merchant, in financial distress himself, sells Estebanico to the conquistador Pánfilo de Narváez, who is about to sail for the New World. To say that Narváez is a poor leader would be a massive understatement, and largely as a consequence of this, the ship’s complement is rapidly reduced thanks to bad seas, awful weather, disease, starvation, and encounters with hostile Native tribes. Estebanico and the others survive largely by living with a series of native tribes, often as slaves. Estebanico more readily adapts to this
new life, learning the language and traditions, including the use of various herbal remedies. Largely as a result, he is ultimately considered a shaman and honoured. The group continues to seek Spanish settlements until, eight years later, they enter Mexican territory, encounter a group of Spanish slavers, and are taken to the capital of the Spanish Mexican empire. This turns out to be far less than the long hoped for salvation, however, and the book concludes with Estebanico’s efforts to save himself and those he has come to love. Much more than simply the story of Estebianico, this is also the story of the Native tribes and their experiences following contact with the first Europeans, of the landscapes through which our hero wandered, and the struggle of one man to stay true to his own sense of honour and decency. The Relic Master is a completely different sort of tale. It tells the story of Dismas, a relic hunter (one who seeks out ‘authentic’ religious relics for his wellto-do clients), and his friend Albrecht Dürer, a noted German painter. Dismas has two main clients, Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony and soon-to-be Cardinal Albrecht of Mainz. Sadly, the two are significant competitors, but whereas Frederick is a reasonable sort, Albrecht is both ambitious and unscrupulous. This ultimately puts Dismas in an untenable position, to extricate himself from which he and Dürer come up with the not necessarily wise idea of producing a counterfeit copy of the Shroud of Turin. Thanks to Dürer’s egotism, the forged Shroud is quickly revealed as a fake, and Dismas tortured accordingly. He is ultimately freed, but only on condition that he seek – i.e. steal – the ‘genuine’ Shroud as a replacement. This sets Dismas and Dürer on a quest which, always expected to be difficult, is made all the more so through the addition of mercenaries, a female apothecary, and the existence of a second group also out to steal the Shroud. Filled with real historical characters and events, The Relic Master is a rich and farcical tale.

Solutions & Substitutions
By Reena Nerbas Hi Reena, I just dug out a silver plated ice bucket which has not been used for a long time and it is very tarnished! What is the best way to deal with this? Anne Dear Anne, Whether dealing with jewelry or serving dishes, silver pieces are known for blackening over time. Interestingly, the more a person uses silver, the less it tarnishes. When cleaning silver, never use abrasive pads or clothes; as they can become scratched and ruin some (if any) etching details. Line your kitchen sink with big sheets of crumpled aluminum foil. Place the ice bucket in the sink. Pour in enough hot water to cover most or all of the ice bucket. To the water add; half cup salt, one cup baking soda and 4 cups vinegar. Leave for 20 minutes. Turn the ice bucket regularly so that each side comes in contact with the foil. Remove from sink. If any blackened areas remain, sprinkle that specific area with additional baking soda; then clean with a soft toothbrush. Rinse with water; soft cotton clothes are great for polishing. Dear Reena, I am having a large pile of guests at my house in the next few weeks. I have limited space in my oven and therefore have decided to use my crock pot to cook part of the meal. Is it possible to make perogies in a crock pot?
How should your risk tolerance influence investment decisions? As an investor, how much risk can you tolerate? It’s an important question because the answer can help you make the right investment choices. Before you know your risk tolerance, you’ll want to make sure you first understand the nature of investment risk - the risk of losing principal. This risk is especially prevalent when you invest in stocks because stock prices will always fluctuate - and there are never any guarantees about performance. Of course, a decline in value does not mean you need to sell; you can always hold on to the stock with the hope that its value will bounce back. And this can certainly happen but again - no guarantees. How you respond to this type of investment risk will tell you a great deal about your own risk tolerance. Of course, no one, whether he or she has a high tolerance for risk or a low one, particularly likes to see declines. But people do react differently. If you’re the sort of
Thank you, Greta Dear Greta, Using your crock pot (slow cooker) has many advantages. You can make part of the meal ahead of time; and like you said, it is a great solution when oven space is limited. Take frozen perogies and toss with melted butter or margarine or cooking oil; every perogy should be coated. Add 2 Tbsp. water to the pot. Cook for 3 hours. Add sauces, bacon pieces or sautéed onions as desired. Dear Reena, Please give me some suggestions for the following: Cleaning the stoneware dish of a crock pot. Cleaning the brown film that forms on cookie sheets. Cleaning a glass container that previously was used for a plant container. There is a distinct line around the top of the container that I can’t get rid of. Thanks, Joyce Dear Joyce, • Separate the slow cooker crock pot from electrical component. Submersing the pot itself in hot water and dish soap. Scrub with a non-abrasive scrub pad. Some people (like myself) have experienced the best results by scrubbing the pot with a wet S.O.S pad and dish soap, however, many manufacturers advise against this commenting that abrasive pads may scratch the pot. Another option is to place the cooled pot on the bottom rack of the dishwasher; the hot water and dishwasher de-
tergent are powerful at removing food residue as long as the food has not cooked onto the sides of the pot. • You can clean your baking sheets by using a combination of baking soda and dish soap or Bar Keepers Friend. Scrub with a non-abrasive cloth. If the shiny coating is gone, it will not return. In the restaurant business people use steel wool to scrub non-coated aluminum baking sheets. Some people had great results cleaning sheets with oven cleaner in a ventilated area, test on an inconspicuous area first. To make cleaning easier (in the future), line pans with parchment paper before baking or spray pans with non-stick coating or grease pans with oil or purchase silicone sheets. Parchment paper is a great investment; you will save time cleaning up, food will not stick to the paper and your pans will last for years. • Fill the glass vase with hot vinegar. When the vinegar is cool enough to touch, scrub the water line with a non-scratching abrasive cloth or very fine sandpaper. Pour out the contents and polish with a drying cloth. If the mark returns, the glass is permanently etched. Note: Every user assumes all risks of injury or damage resulting from the implementation of any suggestions in this column. Test all products on an inconspicuous area first. I enjoy your questions and tips, keep them coming. Need a Presenter on the topic: Effective Speaking or The Power of Words? Check out: Reena.ca
person who can retain your confidence in your investment mix and can focus on the long term and the potential for a recovery, you may well have a higher tolerance for risk. But if you find yourself losing sleep over your losses (even if, at this point, they’re just “paper” losses), becoming despondent about reaching your goals, and questioning whether you should be investing at all, then you may have a low tolerance for risk. This self-knowledge of your own risk tolerance should help inform your investment decisions - to a point. Even if you determine you have a high tolerance for risk, you almost certainly should not load up your portfolio exclusively with stocks. If the stock market enters a prolonged slump, you could face heavy losses that may take many years to overcome, causing you to lose significant ground in the pursuit of your financial goals. Conversely, even if you discover you don’t have much tolerance for risk, you may not want to invest only in supposedly “safe” vehicles, such as Guaranteed Income Certificates (GICs). During those periods when rates on GICs and similar instruments are
low, as has been the case in recent years, your interest payments from these investments may not even keep up with inflation - meaning that, over time, you could end up losing purchasing power, which, over the long term, can be just as big a risk as market declines. Ultimately, then, you’ll probably want to let your risk tolerance guide your investment choices - but not dictate them with an “iron hand”. So, if you believe you are highly tolerant of risk, you might have a somewhat higher percentage of stocks in your portfolio than if you felt yourself to be highly risk-averse - but in any case, you’ll likely benefit from building a diversified portfolio containing stocks, bonds, government securities, GICs and other investments. While this type of diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. By knowing your own risk tolerance, and the role it can play in your choices, you can help yourself create an effective, suitable investment strategy - one that you can live with for a long time and that can help you avoid the biggest risk of all: not reaching your long-term goals.
