As we reflect on this heritage, we also look ahead to reconciliation through continued learning and action, led by our reconciliACTION Business Resource Group, our Reconciliation Action Plan and sustainability strategy. Through this work, we aim to support the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities. Together, we can help create a meaningful, long-term impact.

Canada’s financial landscape is evolving, and so are Canadians’ priorities when it comes to their legacy. IG Wealth Management’s latest estate planning study reveals a clear gap between intention and action: 84% of Canadians say having an estate plan is important, yet fewer than half have one in place.

Even among those who do, important conversations are being missed. While 68% believe charitable giving should be included in an estate plan, only 40% have discussed how to incorporate it.

At IG, we’re focused on helping close these gaps by giving Canadians the guidance and strategies they need to protect their legacy, support the causes they care about and make their wishes clear.
