As we move towards the end of the year and days get shorter, the summer begins to fade into a distant memory for many of us.

The economy is on all our minds as high inflation levels and elevated costs of living continue to make things challenging for so many. We appreciate the incredible work charities and non-profits are doing to support their local communities at a time when their services are needed perhaps more than ever.

In this issue of Amplify:

  • Carters Professional Corporation (Carters) explains the amendments to Bill C-19 designed to simplify the funding of non-qualifed donees.
  • We shine our charity spotlight on Covenant House Toronto’s Sleep Out which encourages solidarity with Canadian youth experiencing homelessness and raises much-needed funds to help them rebuild their lives.
  • With Responsible Investing (RI) continuing to gain importance in the investment world, we highlight two basic approaches – Divestment and Engagement. We provide arguments for both approaches and why Guardian Capital LP ultimately believes that Engagement can more effectively enact the societal changes that responsible investors want to see.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Amplify.
