Holiday office hours
December 27th is the last trading day in Canada and the U.S. for equity market transactions to settle in 2017. Canadian and U.S. markets will be closed Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Canadian markets are also closed on December 26th.
The Jefferson|Steele office will be closed from 1 pm on December 22nd through January 1st, returning on January 2nd. We will have staff available for contact by phone during that week at our regular numbers, should you have an urgent matter.

All the best,
