A New Era of Investing- RCPW Article feature in Fall/Winter 2025 Design Your Home Magazine

A major shift is underway in Canada’s financial landscape as women increasingly take control of wealth. By 2028, Canadian women are expected to manage $3.8 trillion in assets—up from $2.2 trillion in 2019—largely due to the “great wealth transfer,” where baby boomer women inherit assets from spouses or family members.

This transition often brings emotional and financial challenges, especially for those newly responsible for large sums of money. Robinson Cancade Private Wealth (RCPW) in Brandon, Manitoba, supports women through this process. Advisors Brandy Lavich and Tracy Baker approach these situations with empathy, education and collaboration, helping clients make confident decisions that align with their values and life goals.

RCPW works in partnership with Cardinal Capital Management and Harness Investment Management to provide expert investment guidance. They note that women aren’t necessarily risk-averse but prefer to understand strategies before investing. RCPW aims to help women not just grow their wealth but use it to build a meaningful, values-driven life.

Women of Westman Conference 2025: Empowering Women Together

On March 5th, 2025, the Annual Women of Westman Conference brought together an incredible community of women for a day filled with inspiration, learning, and empowerment. This year’s theme, “Empower Her”, encouraged us all to lift up the women around us in our workplaces, communities, and beyond.

We were honored to be part of such a meaningful event, where attendees had the opportunity to engage in insightful workshops and hear from local leaders. The keynote speaker, Stephanie Staples, brought her expertise in psychosocial wellness and motivation, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.

At RCPW, we were proud to sponsor the event and contribute to the success of the day. Our booth at the entrance provided a welcoming space to connect with attendees, while the tent cards at each table added a personal touch to the event’s atmosphere. We were also pleased to have our logo featured on over 300 Empowerment Bags, collected by attendees as a keepsake from the event.

We’re grateful for the chance to support such a well-organized and impactful event once again and look forward to continuing to empower and support the women in our community. Thank you to the organizers, speakers, and everyone who attended — your energy and passion made this event truly special.

Stay connected for more updates on future events, and let’s keep empowering each other every day.
