This year, Bousfields was a proud Title Sponsor, supporting so many inspiring sessions, meaningful connections and engaging conversations! A big shout out to all the Bousfielders who participated on panels, led sessions, worked the booth, and contributed to making the conference a space of learning and connection. A massive thank you to everyone at @cdnplanners and @ontarioplanners for all their hard work! This year’s conference was a huge success - it has us already eagerly anticipating next year’s CIP and OPPI conferences!

This past Spring, Bousfielders participated in two important initiatives – the Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health and the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s! These events raise funds and awareness in support of dementia research and care. Dementia is the fastest growing healthcare issue of our time and has impacted many of us in some way. We are happy to announce that the Walk for Alzheimer’s raised $2,451 for the Alzheimer Society and the Bike for Brain Health raised $10,290 for Baycrest Health Sciences. Together, Bousfields raised $12,741 for these important causes that are close to our hearts! Thank you to everyone who organized, participated, fundraised and supported these events, we couldn’t have done it without you.
