This is a special time of year that is often full of fam- ily traditions. Why do we do what we always do at this time of year? Often the answer is be- cause it is what we did at Christmas when we were young. And therefore, that's the tradition we would like to continue for the benefit of our next generation. It can also be a time to re- flect on family values. flect on family values. f One of my values is con- tinued education. People committed to lifelong learn- ing and ongoing improve- ment of their knowledge and skills. Years ago, while attend-Years ago, while attend-Y ing the funeral of a former teacher of mine, the family values that were part of his celebration were saving for, and then providing, finan- cial assistance for a strong education for all of their children.

Often grandparents and other family members are looking for something spe- cial to give a child. Many children are lucky enough to receive gifts. Perhaps they don't need just one more present. They will benefit from a good education in the long term. Whether it be trade school, college or universi- ty. A child will determine their path into adulthood and a strong education will support that journey. Another option for a family tradition is giving afamily tradition is giving af special gift to someone less fortunate. There is plenty offortunate. There is plenty off economic hardship throughout Ontario. We are considered aWe are considered aW wealthy province, but that wealth is not spread evenly. There are many deserving families who are not able tofamilies who are not able tof enjoy the Christmas extras that many take for granted. This is a special time of year. Celebrate the season, celebrate your values and traditions. Merry Christmas. Peter Watson is an agent of Aligned Capital Partners Inc.
