School’s Out for Summer – Let’s Keep Our Kids Safe & Smiling! 

It’s that time of year again—school’s out and summer has officially arrived! As kids swap their backpacks for bikes and their pencils for popsicles, our neighbourhoods come alive with the joyful sounds of summer break. Whether they’re walking to the park, riding scooters down the sidewalk, or playing a spontaneous game of tag in the front yard, kids are out and about—and it’s up to all of us to help keep them safe.

A Father’s Day Tribute to Our Dad, Pat Rocca
With love from Cathy and Tanya

Father’s Day is a beautiful reminder to slow down and celebrate the men who love, guide, and support their families in countless ways. For us, it’s a day full of love, memories, and deep gratitude—for our dad, our husbands, and all the incredible fathers out there.

Our dad, Pat Rocca, was a man of great vision and even greater heart. He wasn’t just our father—he was a builder of dreams and communities, especially in Saint John, New Brunswick, where his legacy is deeply rooted. In 2017, on New Brunswick Day, the city honoured him by renaming the North Market Wharf to Pat Rocca Way—a moment of profound pride for our entire family.

That street, Pat Rocca Way, runs…

Bank of Canada Holds Key Interest Rate at 2.75% Amid Global Uncertainty

On June 4, 2025, the Bank of Canada announced that it will keep its key interest rate steady at 2.75%, with the Bank Rate at 3% and the deposit rate at 2.70%.

Why the Hold?

Global trade tensions—particularly between the U.S. and China—remain high, with ongoing tariff changes creating economic uncertainty. Although global markets have stabilized since April’s financial turmoil, uncertainty around U.S. policy continues to impact global growth.

What’s Happening in Canada?

  • Canada’s economy grew 2.2% in the first quarter, slightly better than expected, thanks to strong business investment and a surge in exports ahead of U.S. tariffs.

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:
