When we said we wanted to take our Premium experiences even further — we meant it. 🍁 We’re travelling across Canada bringing Premium in-person experiences to more Premium clients. We kicked off our first event this week in downtown Vancouver. The drinks, the eats, and the energy were top-tier. Our CEO Michael Katchen and the team met some amazing local clients and heard their insights on everything finance, the economy, entrepreneurship, and of course — all the must-hit spots while we’re still in town. We had a blast, and we’re so thankful to everybody who came out to connect. 

I am really excited to announce a partnership that we have been working on for some time with Hunter Williams and Rippling. We now have a new integration with Rippling to provide simplified workplace savings programs to Canadian teams. Together, Wealthsimple and Rippling are revolutionizing the way sponsors can offer workplace savings plans by eliminating hours of administrative work from each pay run, allowing organizations to focus on what really matters: their employees. Are you an HR or Total Rewards professional who is tired of spending more time on admin vs. the programs that really provide impact? If this is you or your team, please shoot me a note or read more below.

What does TLDR have in common with Taylor Swift and Ryan Gosling? We’re each nominated for The Webby Awards, which recognize excellence in online media. We’re the only Canadian nominee in the Business, News & Tech Newsletter category, and we’re up against U.S. media behemoth CNN. We need your vote to win! Cast a ballot here: https://wbby.co/40274N

To close out our #BlackHistoryMonth programming, Amanda Parris, renowned Canadian media icon, award-winning writer, TV host and producer, joined us at our Toronto office last week to discuss how purpose, passion, and impact fuel her creativity. She also shared her perspective on what’s required to pursue Excellence in the Arts: ✍️ Passion as a filter. Her golden rule is to only sign up for projects you’re passionate about, or ones that give you the experience and skills necessary to work on the things you’re passionate about. ✍️ Thinking seasonally, or time blocking and focusing on creative projects in bursts helps maximize your performance.  ✍️ Managing expectations. It’s key to self-care and helps maintain balance. Thanks to our employee resource group, Black at Wealthsimple, for putting together such an inspiring event 🖤
