More about our guest, Peter Weston
Born and raised in Quebec City. After graduating from Quebec High School I was lucky enough to attend a boarding school in Connecticut for two years. There, I earned a basketball scholarship from a college in New Hampshire. After my college sophomore year, I transferred to Bishop’s University where I finished my degree.

I’ve been an independent financial advisor for four years; I counsel my clients on their investment decisions as well as for their personal insurance needs. The goal is to put together a personalized plan that takes into account my clients’ circumstances and objectives.

Don’t miss this opportunity to secure your financial future and enjoy peace of mind in retirement!
