I have been a member of the BNI Champions for over 15 years. At the beginning of my membership I was not sure if I had made the right choice . There definitely is a method to the madness of BNI as a whole. It took me almost one year to gain the trust of the other members and that meant meeting with the other members to gain their trust. Slowly but surely I gained the trust and respect of the members. Once that happened business started to flow my way. I have never looked back and thank Nancy Zins (Life Insurance agent for the BNI Champions) for dragging me kicking and screaming into the BNI Champions.

BNI, through the Champions chapter and other BNI chapters represents about 20-25% of my total billings. I give back to BNI what they give to me. They are my first go to when a client or friend is looking for a recommendation on who to hire or who to use for a certain task or project. In order to maintain the trust I have built with the chapter I ensure that my work is my best and I always maintain a relationship with all of my clients garnered through BNI, and if I have to go the "extra mile" I do without hesitation.

Change to spousal support payments for common law couples in Ontario

Under Ontario’s Family Law Act, the definition of a spouse is extended to common law couples for the purposes of support obligations.
