  • “Time and time again teammates across the globe demonstrate their dedication and unparalleled work ethic to deliver strong, sustainable returns to BCI, RBC GAM and their clients. This is while frontline colleagues engage each and every day with our tenants and residents to ensure their comfort, wellness and safety. Everyone has been attentive to the needs of those around them, working collaboratively and creatively. It all reinforces to me the value of being part of a well-connected community of professionals as we strive to share the same spirit in the neighbourhoods of which we are a part.”
