Business as usual!  According to Mr. Serre: “We feel that LMC Group is an exceptional fit, and a natural evolution of our business.  We are looking forward to working with LMC Group to provide an expanded range of professional services to our valued clients”.

What does this mean for legacy LMC Group Clients?

Business as usual – but new and improved!  According to Mr. Lesniewski: “On the surface, legacy LMC Group clients will see little change.  But LMC Group is pleased to announce that due to this merger, we will be adopting an enhanced software application developed by Serre Financial Group – a single, unified platform to seamlessly deliver administrative and actuarial services to all of our clients.”

Looking forward…

Serre Financial and LMC Group have collaborated on several initiatives in the past.  With this announcement, this collaboration has entered a new phase.  Both firms are eagerly exploring additional areas of collaboration, to the benefit of our respective clients.

How LMC Group is Responding to COVID-19 Pandemic

Quite simply, the COVID-19 Pandemic is unprecedented. Without timely and decisive intervention, the economic and social consequences of this pandemic can be catastrophic.

The management of LMC Group has sought guidance from various entities including: provincial health authorities, Public Health Canada, Global Affairs Canada, clients, advisors and our broader network. As a result of input from these entities, effective immediately, the Calgary and Toronto physical offices of LMC Group will be closed. All LMC Group staff will be working from home until further notice.

To be clear, our response is a deliberate over-reaction. Our paramount concern is the health and safety of our associates and their families, and in the broader perspective, the community in which we live in. As we understand it, a primary key to contain the spread and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 is to maintain “social distancing” between individuals, which includes the office environment or in a related manner (for example, reducing social interactions by not taking public transport to work).

To Our Clients and Advisors

The closure of our physical offices will be seamless from the perspective of our clients and advisors.

Starting with the Calgary Flood of 2013, the management of LMC Group has systematically invested in business continuation technologies. There is no change to the contact information to any of our staff (telephone and email) and our staff have full access to corporate servers that are resident in a cloud environment.

Although our hope is to re-open our physical offices in the near future, we are fully prepared and capable of maintaining a physical office closure for an indefinite period of time.

Reflecting the seamless experience for our clients and advisors, the communication of our physical office closures will be on our website only (i.e., there will be no reference on our telephone greetings or email signatures).

Thank You

The management of LMC Group would like to sincerely thank the many individuals who have generously shared their time, knowledge and information regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The following is a representative and rather comprehensive article on COVID-19:

The management of LMC Group will continue to actively monitor developments and will issue updates when warranted.
