Age: 44
Occupation: I am the president and CEO of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) and a member of several boards, including the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, the Independent Electricity System Operator, Wigwamen Inc., and Young People’s Theatre in Toronto.

Retirement plans
My husband and I are fairly risk-averse, perhaps in part because we’re both engineers, so we have always been fiscally responsible and have kept our debt very low. I have a pension from my previous career and we have invested in part ownership of my husband’s consulting engineering business. We have a financial advisor who manages our investments. That’s something we will focus on more as our children approach post-secondary school. Our current focus is on real estate and continuing to invest in the business.
