Toronto, ON – On Sept. 20, team members at Segal GCSE dedicated their workday to give back to the communities we serve, contributing to several local charities and non‑profit organizations, including Durham Outlook, GlobalMedic, Hullmar Park Tree Planting, Parkview Neighbourhood Garden, Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and Regeneration Brampton. As part of our commitment to giving back, our professionals described this as an amazing, rewarding and humbling experience.
GIVING Beyond Today was a rare opportunity for members of our team who don’t normally cross paths to build new relationships while volunteering together. Whether packaging rice or planting trees, those involved were unanimous in their enthusiasm, with many pledging to sign up for similar activities on a monthly basis in their spare time.
Segal GCSE has always been active in supporting and sponsoring charitable initiatives, but traditionally taken more of a behind‑the‑scenes role. It’s now time for us to be more open about these objectives, making our priorities clear to those building our firm’s future. After initial discussions between HR and the marketing team, the partner group got involved, eventually accepting a bold proposal for a paid day for staff to dedicate their time and effort to volunteer work. Everyone was in agreement about the merit of this idea and its potential to reignite the firm’s mission and values, while showing support for members of our team who are committed to volunteer initiatives.
While Segal GCSE is based in Toronto, we wanted to support organizations throughout the region where our team is based, from Cambridge to Peterborough to downtown Toronto and all the way to Barrie. It was important for our professionals to feel they were supporting not only the communities where they work, but also where they live. In the end, six primary organizations – in Oshawa, Oakville, Brampton and Toronto – were selected. The goal was to allow staff to support whatever cause is dear to them, giving back to the community in a way that is personally fulfilling. In the end, the charities and non‑profits we worked with were immensely grateful and made it clear our commitment had a meaningful impact.
We are committed to repeating this initiative next year. This paid day of volunteer work is now considered one of the firm’s signature benefits, an incentive our partner group provides to support our team’s wishes. For next year’s edition, we plan to set our sights even higher – ideally, we would like to plan the event so all 200+ team members participate – and we may focus on a single charity or non-profit to simplify the logistical challenges and allow us to make an even more significant impact. In the process of selecting future initiatives, we will continue encouraging staff to suggest organizations that are dear to them. Going forward, GIVING Beyond Today is one more reliable way we can help those who need our support, while bringing the members of our firm closer together.
Committed to a better tomorrow

Segal GCSE recently had the pleasure of attending the 2023 RBC Canadian Open in Toronto from June 8‑11 as a Champions Club sponsor. The event turned out to be more than just a memorable team‑building experience. This year’s tournament took on an extra layer of significance as Nick Taylor emerged victorious – the first Canadian champion since 1954.
Surrounded by like‑minded golf enthusiasts, several Segal GCSE partners and their guests were among the attendees who witnessed Taylor’s victory first‑hand – in addition to the extraordinary talent displayed by all the golfers in the competition. The lively atmosphere, exceptional hospitality and world‑class golf action was an ideal setting for building connections and sharing in the collective excitement of witnessing golf history in the making.
Swing for success

Segal GCSE was proud to celebrate this past International Women’s Day 2023 by serving as a table sponsor at the Canadian Italian Business and Professional Association (CIBPA) of Toronto’s IWD event.
The event took place at the Montecassino Hotel & Event Venue in Woodbridge on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The focus of the event was to honour women in leadership and also featured CIBPA Toronto’s Women in Excellence awards.
This was the 8th annual IWD event hosted by the organization. This year, Nicole Servinis, from Citytv’s Breakfast Television was the event MC. Andrea Trentadue, from CHIN TV, served as moderator for the evening’s panel.
On a global scale, the IWD 2023 theme was #EmbraceEquity – not just equality. Providing equal opportunities to women is not enough, because “true inclusion and belonging require equitable action,” explained IWD.
With that in mind, it was a true pleasure for our team to celebrate the amazing, innovative female leaders across Canada and the world!
