Happy Mother’s Day from Our Hearts to Yours

As we ponder Mother’s Day, we remember with fondness our own mother, Joan—the matriarch and strength of our family. She continues to be an inspiration in all that we do.

Now, we find ourselves in that same role: the light for the next generation. Motherhood is a profound privilege—messy, magical, and everything in between.

Real estate is a demanding profession—there’s no 9-5, and certainly no weekends off. Motherhood, too, never stops. We strive every day to balance both roles with grace, knowing there’s no such thing as a perfect mom, but a million ways to be a good one.

To all our fellow moms, here are a few reminders this Mother’s Day:

Bank of Canada Holds Interest Rate Steady Amid Trade Uncertainty

The Bank of Canada announced today that it will maintain its overnight policy rate at 2.75%, with the Bank Rate at 3% and the deposit rate at 2.70%.

This decision comes amid growing global economic uncertainty, largely driven by shifting US trade policies and tariff tensions. These developments have clouded the outlook for growth and inflation both in Canada and worldwide.
