October proved to be an interesting month! We are so tied into the global economy that daily news of what is happening in the rest of the world affects us on a personal level whether it is our investments, job security or for many worry about relatives living abroad. It isn't all doom and gloom, we are so lucky to be living in Canada at a time with record low interest rates holding strong.

 

Please make sure to follow the business we endorse each month on the reverse side of our letter. If you need a lawyer for a power of attorney, haven't done your wills or need to update them, if would be a great idea to contact Bill Cadman. Many of you have used Bill's services for you real estate transactions. Bill has had his law practice in Coquitlam since 1985 and will take very good care of you.
