Click here A wrap-up of our in-depth look at family enterprise and family-office education in CanadaCanadian Family Offices' recent special report on education springs from our ongoing coverage of the next generation of enterprising families. Our goal was to address the importance of the transition of family enterprises and wealth, along with the corresponding impact on family offices.
