- During 'Frosh week,' Queen's University students will be
shining the shoes of CFP designated financial planners at
the Investors Group offices in the Kingston Quinte Isles region
as part of their efforts to match last year's fundraising
achievement of $42,000 for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's
Shinerama campaign. The event will take place on September
7th at 2pm at 100-1000 Gardiners Rd, Kingston.
Financial Planners Standards Council, the standard-setting
organization that awards the CFP designation to qualifying
planners, is a national sponsor of Shinerama 2001and the official
supplier of shoeshine kits that will display the CFP logo
and the "Take the Next Step" slogan.
"By supporting Shinerama, FPSC helps raise
funds for Cystic Fibrosis while promoting CFP brand awareness,"
said FPSC President Don Johnston. "We are delighted to
be part of Shinerama again this year. It is a worthy cause
and a natural fit with our "Take the Next Step"
campaign." Take the Next Step, FPSC's half-million dollar
CFP awareness campaign aimed at the financial industry, students
and the general public, continues throughout the year. Shinerama
events will take place at universities and colleges nation-wide
during the month of September.
Financial Planners Standards Council is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to benefiting and protecting the Canadian
consumer by establishing and enforcing education, examination,
experience and ethics requirements for financial planners
who choose to earn the CFP designation. FPSC is the Canadian
licensor of the internationally recognized CFP certification
