January 2016 - Pay Yourself First
In January, CIBPA was happy to host “Business Owners, Pay Yourself First”. We had a great turnout for our dinner meeting with four experts in their field that focused on “Success in Small Business”.
Our guest speakers included Teresa Moore, CPA, CA Collins Barrow (Vaughan) LLP, Gaetano Barrila, Barrila Law, Dan Natale, CPA, CA, SEGAL LLP, and Lenny Kerman of Kings Landing Financial.
Some of the topics of discussion were: protecting the small business owner or shareholder, personal/financial matters for a small business owner, information of employment laws (labour laws etc.), succession planning/exit by design. Following the presentation we had a panel discussion with our experts.
It was an informative evening with networking and a great way for small business owners to establish contacts.

February 2016 - Toronto Police Chief
On February 10, the CIBPA was honoured to host Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders as well as former Police Chief, The Honourable Julian Fantino. With all of our events, those in attendance had the opportunity to network with other members and guests before enjoying a wonderful dinner.
It was a very intimate and informative evening as the two discussed past and present issues facing the City of Toronto and the GTA . Guests also had the opportunity to ask questions during the Q&A part of the evening. We look forward to hosting them in the future.
