Launch of the Toronto Members' Group

Open-access content Tuesday 5th July 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

The official launch event of the newest regional society – the Toronto Members’ Group (TMG) – was held on 21 April.

The official launch event of the newest regional society - the Toronto Members' Group (TMG) - was held on 21 April.

The TMG was first set up last year in response to the fact that there are now almost 200 IFoA members in Canada, a figure that is growing. Approximately 40 actuaries filled up the room at Deloitte in downtown Toronto, firstly for wine and cheese and then to listen to the speakers.

It was interesting to chat over drinks and find out everyone's story of how they got to Toronto via Britain, Ireland, or elsewhere.

Founder Rachel Gow first spoke about the origins and purpose of the group, as well as the make-up of IFoA members in Canada. Dave Pelletier, honorary IFoA fellow and FSA, then talked of his impressive experience working internationally, in places like Brazil, South Korea and Italy, as well as his work volunteering for the profession. Of particular note was how he numerically contrasted the differences of working in each country. An engaging Q&A followed.

If you wish to contact the TMG, please email Rachel at [email protected]
