Join us in the afternoon on May 16, 2024  for our Annual General Meeting.

Registration begins at 11 am and a Member Appreciation Lunch will be served at 12 noon.

This year, we are excited to be sharing a report on a nation-wide comprehensive research study commissioned by GFD. The goal of the research is to learn and understand more about consumer trends in the bereavement sector, specifically, how Canadians are thinking about and planning their end-of-life arrangements. Following this presentation, a panel to discuss the results of the research and other sector trends will continue.

Finally, we are honoured to host as our Keynote Speaker, Mr. Don Drummond, retired senior vice president and chief economist of TD Financial Group, who will discuss the economic outlook of our country and province and its impact on small business and our sector.

We will end the afternoon with a cocktail reception and hors d’oeuvre as we welcome the next generation of bereavement sector professionals from Humber College and College Boréal to network with our Members and establish ongoing relationships.
