Certified financial planner

training is a good investment

[pangs financial services workers
are finding that professional
qualifications are essential, and
Continuing Education has responded by
offering quality training with their new
Certified Financial Planner™ program
(CFP).

Developed by the Canadian Institute
of Financial Planning (CIFP)
specifically for individuals who wish to
become qualified professional financial
planners, the CFP program covers the
full spectrum of financial products,
services and strategies. It’s offered here
on the institute’s behalf, with the
approval of the Financial Planners
Standards Council of Canada. After
completing the program, students with
two year’s work experience can write
the professional proficiency
examination in order to receive the

*

he Capilano College women’s

soccer team almost had them re-
writing the history books on November
8 at the Canada College’s Athletic
Association’s soccer finals competition
held in Dorval, Quebec. But a single
goal by John Abbot College of Quebec,
the only one scored against them
during the entire finals competition,
slammed the book shut. The loss was a

CFP certification mark.

Members of the financial planning
community, Capilano College and CIFP
are represented on an advisory board for
the program that met for the first time
last month.

Appointed to the advisory board for
the Certified Financial Planner program
are:

Brad Campbell, CFP, regional
manager, Vancouver, Investors Group;
Elaine Douglas, CFP, RFP, president,
Financial Fitness Group Inc. and

Margaret Eckenfelder, director, B.C.
and Alberta, Canadian Bankers
Association; Doreen Gardner Brown,
RPHEC, CFP, president, Gardner Brown
Consulting Inc, and chair of the advisory
board; Don Goodison, CFP, FCGA,

real heartbreaker, especially because it
was the only defeat the team suffered all
season. However, they have to be proud
of their accomplishments this year. There
were many other teams who would have
loved to have taken home Capilano
College’s silver medal. Coach Doug
Abercrombie must be congratulated for
a superb job. He led the women’s team
into their last three Canadian finals

partner, Kemp Harvey Goodison Inc.
and representing the Certified General
Accountants of British Columbia; Doug
Loblaw, department chair, Capilano
College Business Administration; John

3? Oh, so close

competitions which they won in 1995 and
1996. No soccer team has ever won three
in a row.

Two players from the women’s team
were named to the 1997 Canadian All-
Stars: Diana Artuso (who was also the
league’s leading scorer) and Vanessa
Hayes. Let’s just say this was one for the
home team. But wait, just wait, until next
year! Vive Le Capilano College Blues!
