Office Location
As a planner with TD Wealth Financial Planning, I am passionately committed to providing my clients a fully integrated financial plan that balances living life today with setting goals for tomorrow. I take the time to understand, not just their current financial circumstances, but also the objectives and motivations integral to it. Whether you are planning for retirement or starting a new business, I am here to help guide you every step of the way.
In my role, I focus on four key areas:
- Build net worth – Identifying investment solutions that align to my clients’ evolving needs.
- Implement tax-efficient strategies – Working with my clients to help create and structure their accounts to help reduce tax exposure while keeping income available for when it’s needed.
- Protect what matters – Leveraging the expertise of TD specialists, I help integrate strategies to protect what matters to my clients.
- Leave a legacy – Helping my clients to build a plan to effectively transfer their wealth.

Our Steps To Preparing A Plan Uniquely Yours
Important Tax Information for 2024
- You can now make your 2024 TFSA contributions - The annual TFSA contribution limit for 2024 is $7000 and you can carry forward unused contribution room from previous years. You pay no tax on any investment income you may earn in your TFSA and you can withdraw funds from a TFSA without paying tax. Your TFSA can hold a variety of qualified investments, including cash, stocks, guaranteed investment certificates (GIC's) and mutual funds.
- Contributions are deductible against your income for Canadian income tax purposes, subject to your contribution limit, and are not taxed until you withdraw them as needed during retirement (ideally at a lower tax rate).
- Your contribution limit for 2023 can be found on your Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment for 2022.
- The deadline for 2023 contributions is 11:59 p.m., February 29, 2024.
- Money invested in an RESP can grow tax-deferred, and the best part? The government can contribute up to $7,200 over the lifetime of your child’s RESP (a maximum of $500 a year).
- RESPs can be used for anything related to obtaining a post-secondary education, including tuition, textbooks, rent and transportation. The lifetime maximum contribution is $50,000 for each beneficiary
