I am excited to announce that my new charitable initiative for 2015 is to help support Lutherwood, and create more awareness in our local community about Children’s mental health.

Approximately one in five children and youth in Ontario has a mental health challenge. About 70% of mental health challenges have their onset in childhood or youth. That’s why early identification and intervention is so critical and can lead to improved achievement in school and better health outcomes in life.

For non-registered investments, the simplest way to increase the rate of return on your investments is to pay less tax on the income that is earned.
The calculation of your tax bill is based on the type of income earned; the most highly taxed income is interest income, followed by dividend income and finally capital gains. Ideally, you will want as much of your taxable income each year classified as either dividends or capital gains, as you will pay substantially less tax on these types of investment income compared to interest income.
