COVID-19, is here and many regions across Canada are beginning to implement bold strategies to limit its spread.  Most of these strategies come down to some form of "social distancing" and they are very important to protect the world's human assets, especially the most vulnerable in our communities.

Members of the PEMAC Asset Management Association of Canada came from across Canada to meet in Toronto, Ontario, for their bi-annual face to face meeting this past Sunday. 

Our Alberta Chapter hosted an Ask Me Anything About Asset Management event with Paul Daoust, on Wednesday, March 4th. Participants emailed Asset Management related questions to Paul beforehand and there was a mic for the attendees to ask any other questions that came to mind.

It was a great evening of discussion centered around the ever change world of asset management.
