Don DeWolfe has helped many people navigate a few rough waters along the way.
In fact, I think that everyone who goes to Don as an accountant probably thinks of him as their friend!  He is relaxed and laid back and ever so slightly irreverent.  If you are feeling intimidated by your tax return or an [...]

Mid way into her second year at McGill as an undergraduate student in political science, Kingi Carpenter decided to do McGill a favour.  She dropped out.  As she puts it, “I had too much respect for McGill to stay on.”

She then enrolled in OCA (now called OCAD) and worked part time at Eatons selling clothes [...]

These are stressful times
Monday, November 10, 2008

These are stressful times. With the frantic pace of our day-to-day life, for most people, stress is the order of the day rather than a rare experience. Most of us are aware of the experience of stress because it is unpleasant and motivates us to get rid of it. While a certain amount of [...]

Two lunches with a view
Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Brookline, MA is from the air, indistinguishable from Boston.  If it weren’t for the discreet street sign near Fenway park, no-one would be able to tell where the city ends and the town begins.

This is a shame because Brookline is often overlooked as a tourist and culinary destination.  Most visitors to Boston will do a [...]

Louisa McCormack went to the University of Toronto with me, and we were both residents of Margaret Addison Hall, on Charles Street.
Louisa always had a look of devout professionalism about her.  Always cheery and friendly, and always seeming as if she was just rushing to meet a deadline.
Along the path of life since those university days, [...]

Meet Daniel
Monday, October 27, 2008

 

Our first house in Toronto was in North Toronto, on a very family oriented street.  My 2 year old had no friends in the neighbourhood–in those days your children’s friends depended on who your nanny chose to befriend quite frankly. (I hope that is changing by the way!)
When I discovered that we were surrounded by [...]

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT SASHA!
Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Sasha Josipovicz of Studio Pyramid and Hippo Properties, is one of the most energetic creative people I know.
Having been in the design business for over 20 years, Sasha was always known as “unemployable” by any of the traditional design firms. Is he mischievous, a little I suppose, but really, he is one of those people [...]

What’s so plastic about “Plastic” Surgery?
Monday, October 20, 2008

We at theperfectconnections have no opinion for or against plastic surgery, but we think our readers are probably far more interested in the cosmetic end of this field.
Most of the time our experts are only too happy to reveal themselves, but we had to do some undercover work and promise not to divulge our sources [...]

IT’S CALLED CAMP CUCUMBER
Wednesday, October 15, 2008

In my relentless pursuit of teaching my teenage daughter about philanthropy, we volunteered at the Camp Cucumber Christmas dinner last December.
She played games with the children, built gingerbread houses and helped paint faces, while I helped organize and prepare serving dishes for the gourmet Christmas dinner that was going to be served.
In October 1991 Diane [...]
