Meet the founder
Driven by a lifetime of dedication and passion for positive change.
I have lived a life and have enjoyed a 3+ decade career embracing the many faces of philanthropy. From my work with local health and social services charities to the many challenging dimensions of raising money for national and international organizations, all of these experiences have blessed me with a deep sense of gratitude followed by a steadfast determination to make things better.
My goal in creating PhilEx is to strategically and systematically shine the spotlight on charities who often go overlooked yet nonetheless are doing remarkable and high-impact work in their communities.
And at the end of the day, it’s about making ‘my dash’ (that seemingly insignificant symbol between one’s date of birth and the date of one’s passing) as meaningful as possible. My approach is rooted in celebrating what we choose to accomplish during that time, and how it benefits something or someone outside of ourselves.
My hope is that we take this journey together to “make a life” for others.
“You get to make a living; you give to make a life.”

For over 30 years, IP Private Wealth has been focused on breaking down the traditional expertise silos, and facilitating success as a “go-to” financial quarterback for business owners and affluent Canadians. Our IP360 process begins with a ‘discovery’ meeting which goes far beyond a pre-set questionnaire. In working with Lois at Harmonia and your other professional advisors, we create a collaborative team which will address your strategic philanthropy goals — the why, how and what of donating to causes that are important to you and your family, while looking to minimize tax.
