Each week, your participation in the This week with Canada Life call gives us the opportunity to provide you an update on continuing to do business in the current environment, global market commentary and to answer your questions.

This week our host Mike Cunneen, Senior Vice-President, Independent Distribution and Wholesaling moderated an advisor panel that included:

·  Bruce Etherington, Bruce Etherington & Associates

·  Danielle Genier, Genier Financial Services Inc.

·  Phil Grimes, Parkgate Financial Group Inc.

·  Rob Neil, Neil & Associates

The advisors took turns answering questions about how they’ve continued to find success through non-face-to-face interactions and how this shift to working digitally will benefit their business going forward. A common theme between the four is they’ve each taken the time to check in with their client’s mental well-being which they’ve found naturally opens the conversation to talk about their financial plans that can be supported through the products Canada Life offers.
