Book for June
Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan - there is no need to wait and every reason not to. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, high-end world travel, monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, this book is the blueprint. Read more....

Yonge Street Construction - Business Support Program
Vivanext

York Region is growing. That's awesome news for businesses. But before we get there we have to build for it. That includes rapid transit, wider boulevards, new water mains and more. Construction can make the going get tough. We're here to make sure everyone keeps going.
To help support local businesses during the construction phase, vivaNext has developed a business support program in collaboration with local chambers of commerce and boards of trade that offers tools and information for their continued success as well as opening project information offices in the community. The program also gets the word out that businesses are still open during construction. 
Learn more about the Business Support Programs by contacting Community Liaison:

With the warm weather arriving, it's a great time to pull that old bike out of the garage, put on some spandex and cycle to work!

Cycling to work is a great way to stay active and fit exercise into your daily routine. Log a bike trip on the Smart Commute tool during the month of June for a chance to win 1 of 3 $500 VIA Rail Travel Vouchers!
