About

Our Board of Directors

The Toronto Chapter of Advocis, The Financial Advisors Association of Canada, is the largest local chapter in Canada, representing Advocis members in the City of Toronto and surrounding metropolitan area. We are a voluntary professional association of financial and insurance advisors, committed to representing the interests of its members and their clients. Advocis is the premier provider of professional development programs, and sets a high level of ethical and market conduct standards as a mandate for its membership. Advocis provides a strong advocate for the financial services sector and the consumer public in Canada.

Our name represents that our members do best — Advice and Advocacy. And our positioning line — Listening First — underscores that commitment to professionalism. Advocis carries on the tradition of effectively representing its members' interests with all levels of government, regulators, and industry, always with the intention of putting the interests of consumers first.

As a single organization, Advocis represents thousands of professional advisors from coast to coast. Advocis members advise their clients on the short- and long-term financial needs of individuals, families, and owners of small and medium-sized businesses. Our members provide financial services that are limited only by the needs of their clients. Those services include financial planning, estate planning, tax preparation, tax planning, and consultation on employee group benefits, pensions and retirement plans. What unites our members is the common activity of helping Canadians to realize their financial goals and protect what is at stake — the savings of Canadians and the financial security of their families and themselves.
