Giving back doesn’t have to start with a big initiative. Sometimes, it starts with finding a way to help where you’re already making an impact.

For Novel, that looks like Bo’s Fund, an internal fund that helps support pet owners when they need it most during their pet’s care. It’s one example of how community can be built directly into the way a business operates.

The Novel team is joining us at The Legacy Exchange, powered by Wealth & Legacy Partners, to share how giving back can support both your community and your business as it grows.

Strong communities are built through strong partnerships.

We're pleased to work alongside FirstOntario Credit Union, a cooperative financial institution that has been serving Ontario communities for more than 87 years. With more than $8 billion in assets under management, FirstOntario continues to reinvest in the communities it serves through local initiatives, charitable giving and programs that create lasting impact.

Today, that commitment has expanded even further through FirstOntario's new Community Banking division, designed to provide specialized financial services and support for organizations dedicated to making a difference.

Beyond banking. Built for community.

✨ Thank you to FirstOntario Credit Union for your support of The Legacy Exchange, making it possible for local charities to participate, including in the FirstOntario Charity Showcase.

Every business has something valuable to contribute to its community.

At The Legacy Exchange, powered by Wealth & Legacy Partners, local McDonald’s franchisee Ryan Sgro will share how his business has made community giving part of what they do. That includes support for Joseph Brant Hospital, Ronald McDonald House South Central Ontario in Hamilton, and local charities in Burlington and Waterdown.

He’s joining us to inspire other businesses to find their own way to make an impact.

Wealth & Legacy Partners was founded on a single conviction: that the families and incorporated professionals who have built meaningful capital deserve advisory relationships defined by depth, continuity, and quiet competence — not transactional product sales.

✨Thank you to Wealth & Legacy Partners for your support of The Legacy Exchange as Presenting Sponsor. We are grateful for your commitment to supporting conversations around generosity and legacy that also highlight the important role business leaders can play in shaping a thriving community.
