After experiencing a severe post-operative infection, Alexa spent six months in the hospital and two months in homecare, and as a result she couldn’t work outside of the home. After this experience, Alexa’s doctor encouraged her to participate in a pilot project, which allows her to keep and access her health records online using a patient portal. “By having access to my health information electronically, I feel much more empowered to talk to my surgeon and it allows me to ask my entire health care team the right questions. I feel more in charge of what is happening to me than I ever have before,” says Alexa. Digital health can empower all patients to take control of their health care. For example, a survey found that 98 per cent of Canadian patients who had access to their personal health record electronically said they have confidence in the information presented in their test results. Nearly seven in 10 (69 per cent) of adults said digital health solutions would allow them to take more control over how their health is managed. For Alexa, a major advantage is being able to add her own information into her record, in addition to accessing information about her. Alexa was able to record her family history using the patient portal. Her family has a history of heart disease, so for her, it’s imperative that any health care provider that treats her has this information. “Now I am an active participant in my own care, not just a recipient, and I think it’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me,” explains Alexa.

You and your significant other spend winter evenings bundled up on the couch, your friends all get along and every day is a new adventure. You’re together so often that you might as well take the next step and move in with one another… but wait just one minute. Have you considered all the implications of cohabitation? Living together can take a relationship to the next level, though there are important things to take into consideration before making that leap, as follows: Financial Implications Now that you’re splitting your domestic costs, both of you can enjoy extra savings. Nevertheless, you should set certain ground rules beforehand, as money can become divisive. For instance, will you equally pay for the rent/mortgage? Who will handle the bills or paying for groceries? While it may not sound romantic, deciding on who is covering what ahead of time will save misunderstandings down the road. Who Owns What? You’re madly in love; your relationship is unlike any other; and it’s on entirely unshakeable ground. It makes total sense that your books, records, and other possessions should come together as one, forever and always. However, in the very unlikely event that the two of you should one day part ways, separating your possessions can be exceedingly challenging and painful. Give some thought to recording what’s yours at the outset, just in case. Protect Yourself Romance comes in many forms. It’s in the little things, like inside jokes, spontaneous outings, and surprise presents, as well as in the big things, like moving in together. And when you do the latter, you can take it one step further and update your insurance policy. “If you add someone to your homeowner’s policy, removing him or her can be very difficult. In fact, you may need to resort to halting payments to have the policy cancelled so you can remove them,” says James Hall, an insurance expert with Western Financial Group. “Instead, either add the person as what’s called an ‘additional insured’ or have them get their own tenant package.” The same should be applied to updating your car insurance if you plan to share a vehicle. Whatever you decide, start by talking to your broker. Now that you’ve given all of the above some thought, you can move in together with a bit more peace of mind. More answers to questions about the nuances of insurance when it comes to cohabitation can be found online at www.westernfinancialgroup.ca. 5 secrets for winning a post-secondary scholarship (NC) Each year, thousands of Canadian students earn scholarships that help them offset their education costs. Surprisingly, over $15 million of the $70 million available each year in scholarship dollars goes unclaimed, according to industry estimates. “Scholarships are a good source of education funding – one that you don’t have to pay back,” advises Melissa Jarman, director of student banking at RBC Royal Bank. “Don’t write yourself off as an unqualified candidate. In addition to funding school with your savings, a part-time job, or a student loan, you could receive an unexpected Page 4 top-up. Even smaller scholarships will help out with your expenses.” Scholarships are available throughout the year, so here are five tips to help you explore your options: 1. Research: Check your college or university’s financial aid department. If you are in high school, check to see what scholarships are available to graduating students. Take advantage of online resources such as studentawards.com and scholarshipscanada.com that match you to available scholarships. 2. Be optimistic: If you’re not a straight-A student, be aware that not all scholarships are based on academic standing. Some of them reward civic engagement, leadership experience, your heritage, affiliations, or a particular skill. 3. Tap your network: You may find scholarships are offered by your employer, sports league or your bank. Ask your parents if their employers offer funding to children of employees. 4. Plan ahead and start early: Be prepared to devote time towards fulfilling scholarship criteria. There are often essays, questionnaires and school transcripts to submit, so allot your time wisely for maximum impact. For Advertising Information please call: 905.420.4123 or 416.779.2523 5. Be conscientious: Proofread your application and ensure you followed all the instructions. Ask friends and family to review your application before you send it. Jarman says that RBC provides over $550,000 in annual scholarships, including the Students Leading Change Scholarships, the Aboriginal Student Awards Program and Scholarship Program for the Children of RBC Employees.

Here we go back to the very first steps of incorporation - choosing a corporate name. When incorporating, you have the option of opting for a numbered company. If you wish to have a named company, you are required to obtain a name report known as a NUANS report. The NUANS report compares your proposed name with the registered names. The idea is to avoid not only conflict but major similarities where customers or clients might confuse one business with the other. The risk is not only that customers might be misinformed or misled by a company name but also the possibility of the Corporation that registered its name first suing the second one for loss of profits. Similarly, names suggesting connection to the crown or the levels of government are prohibited. Representing a company as Vol. 9 Iss. 02 – February 2015 involved in a particular activity which requires a licence from its governing body is also prohibited without proper written consent. For example, a company with the word “engineer” or “engineering” in its name would need special permission from Professional Engineers Ontario. Searching the yellow pages, searching on the internet and any other source where business names would be available is a good way to start and identify conflicts. Each official NUANS report requires a fee, which means, if a name is chosen (to submit and receive a NUANS report) without adequate due diligence, one could easily spend hundreds of dollars trying to find a unique name that has not been already registered. Many on-line service providers offer the NUANS search report service. What should be kept in mind is that these reports are valid (the name is reserved) for 90 days. If you do not incorporate your company within that time, the NUANS will or federal incorporations. A expire and another NUANS search provincial NUANS will not work will be required. This means the for a Federal incorporation. fee needs to be submitted again Should you require assistance and depending on how long it has with incorporating your company passed since its expiry, the name at any stage of the process, do not might no longer be available. hesitate to contact Lawson Clark & Once you decide on the name, Oldman Professional Corporation and established its availability, at 905-683-2741. you will need to choose one of six legal endings (the French equivalents are also available) being: Incorporated, Limited, Corporation, Inc., Ltd., Corp.

As you focus on your hard-earned savings, are you sure all of your money is safe? The failure, or the bankruptcy of a financial institution is not beyond possibilities in Canada – and not all deposits are insured. Take a minute now to understand the different types of deposits and how to apply this information to your own retirement plan. First, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) is the federal agency that exists to protect the savings of Canadians in the event their bank fails or goes bankrupt. If you have an eligible account held in Canadian dollars at a CDIC member institution, you’re automatically insured up to $100,000. The first thing you should know is that, while deposits up to $100,000 are insured, not all deposits are covered, as follows: Insured Deposits You will receive insurance on: • Savings and chequing accounts; • GICs or other term deposits with an original term to maturity of 5 years or less; • Money orders, certified cheques, travellers’ cheques and bank drafts issued by CDIC members; • Accounts that hold realty taxes on mortgaged properties. Uninsured Deposits There is no insurance coverage for: • Mutual funds and stocks; • GICs, and other term deposits with a date to maturity of more than 5 years; • Bonds and Treasury bills • Foreign currency, including U.S. dollar accounts. You will be covered up to $100,000 separately for each of the eligible accounts you hold: an account in one name, an account in joint names, for a trust account, and for the RRSPs, RRIFs, and TFSAs you own. Here, from CIDC are tips for applying this information to your retirement plan: 1. Personal Accounts/Joint Accounts – If you’re looking to maximize your insurance protection, it’s good to remember that deposits held in one name are protected separately from those held jointly. So, if you have personal deposits, your spouse has personal deposits, and you own deposits jointly, you would have total coverage of up to $300,000. 2. Trust Deposits – CDIC insures trust deposits separately from deposits held personally by the trustee or the beneficiary. In this instance, the deposits are separately insured per beneficiary not per depositor. So a trust account in which your five grandchildren have an equal share could be protected up to $500,000. 3. Spousal RRSPs – Eligible deposits held in an RRSP are insured separately from other eligible deposits. In the case of a spousal RRSP, the contributor and the owner are different people. Eligible contributions are added to other registered deposits in the name of the spouse or common-law partner for whom the plan is established – and not with the contributor’s deposits. 4. Foreign currency – If you are a snowbird or considering becoming one, it’s important to remember that CDIC does not insure foreign currency, including U.S. dollar accounts. To take responsibility for your money and to keep it safe in your retirement, information is available from your financial advisor, as well as online at cdic.ca. How to get through tax season with a smile (NC) Spring is not far off, but with one hurdle first: tax time. Turn it into an advantage for yourself with a few easy tips: File, pay on time – and online If you owe taxes, file and pay on time and you won’t get charged late filing penalties and interest. If you don’t owe taxes, you should still file on time. This will ensure that you receive your Canada child tax benefits or GST/HST credit without delay. If you’re expecting a refund, you can have it in your bank account in as little as eight days if you file online and sign up for direct deposit. Claim your tax credits • Medical expenses – You can claim amounts spent on eligible medical expenses, including prescription drugs, medical devices, and special dietary needs. If you have medical coverage through your employer, you can claim the amounts that were not covered by the plan. • Charitable donations – If it’s your first time claiming charitable donations, or your first time since 2007, you may get an extra 25% credit your donation, to a maximum of $1,000. • Fitness and arts credits for kids – The children’s fitness and arts tax credits help make the cost of art lessons and organized fitness Page 12 activities for your children under 16 a little more affordable. You can claim up to $1,000 (under proposed changes) in eligible fitness-related expenses, and up to $500 in eligible arts-related expenses per child. • Family Tax Cut – It’s a proposed non-refundable tax credit of up to $2,000 available to eligible couples with children under the age of 18, and is effective starting with the 2014 tax year. Ask for help If you have a modest income, a simple tax situation, and need help completing and filing your return, many community organizations host tax clinics that may be able to help you. To see if you are eligible for the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program go to www.cra.gc.ca/ volunteer. Ask for a payment plan The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) understands that some taxpayers may be going through a tough time. If you owe taxes but can’t pay, talk to the CRA about your situation. You may be able to set up a payment arrangement which lets you pay in smaller chunks over time. More information is available at www.cra. gc.ca/paymentarrangements. Don’t leave your taxes to chance Getting a refund or having a balance owing when you file your return is not like winning or losing the lottery. It’s simple math. If you’re consistently getting a refund, it means you’re paying too much tax during the year. If you always have a balance owing, consider having more taxes deducted at source, increasing your instalment payments, or putting money into a registered retirement savings plan.
