This month, we have the pleasure of presenting two amazing speakers:

The presentation will close with an overview of how to approach crafting a successful grant application.

She has successfully obtained some of the most competitive grants in Canada, leveraging her extensive experience in Arts Administration with organizations such as Ottawa Fringe, Alberta Dance Theatre, and Kaeja d’Dance.

Her corporate background includes training from the Miller Heiman Institute at E.I. duPont, where she honed her skills in conceptual sales.

In addition to writing grants, RFPs, and business plans, Chelsey has provided mentorship, coaching, and consulting services to both companies and individuals, guiding them toward successful applications.
In April 2024, she founded Grant Solutions Canada to expand her impact and assist more organizations in making a meaningful difference. Chelsey holds a master’s degree from the University of Ottawa and serves on the Board of Directors for the Ottawa Real-Estate Investors Organization. She is deeply committed to addressing the housing crisis and advancing climate research, advocating for solutions that ensure long-term prosperity for future generations.
Erwin Szeto
Join Erwin Szeto, one of Canada’s leading voices in real estate investing in the USA, as he shares how Canadian investors can leverage technology and make passive, direct ownership of US income properties a reality. With rising taxes, lack of Canadian opportunities, increased regulation making cash flow harder to achieve in Canada, Erwin will introduce SHARE—a platform designed to make investing in U.S. residential rental properties straightforward and accessible.
In this talk, Erwin will break down why affordable, landlord-friendly states like southern and Midwest USA are prime opportunities for Canadians right now. He’ll share real examples from his own clients' investments, highlighting the economic fundamentals, expected returns, and the process of getting started in the U.S. market.
If you’ve been considering diversifying beyond Canada or are curious about how to achieve better cash flow and long-term growth through U.S. properties, this presentation will give you the insights and tools you need.
