November 2025
Hello everyone,
Let's get out the trumpets and calculators: Financial Literacy Month is here!
This is a great opportunity to learn more about money, how credit and debit cards work, and many other aspects of our lives.
Several virtual conferences (webinars) are being organized as part of this month, including one entitled “Planning for Retirement: As Much About Numbers as Dreams.” It will take place on November 26. The link to view the program and register is available by clicking
here (in French only).
November is also the time to start your year-end tax planning. Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, real estate investor, employee, or individual, there are actions to take and decisions to make in order to reduce your 2025 tax bill.
Among
the factors to consider in your year-end tax planning are: ·
- Measures affecting investments; ·
- Capital gains and losses; ·
- Major residential renovations; ·
- Quebec's new parental union regime.
Movember provides another opportunity to expand your knowledge about mental health and male cancers.
Gentlemen, in November, we proudly wear mustaches and purchase bow ties sold by
Procure, a charitable organization whose mission is to raise awareness and fund research.
See you soon!
