I got an email about this event recently and thought it sounded really neat and worth sharing. A perfect Sunday outing in the country. Really interesting topic served up in a charming village restaurant. Food for thought...nourishment for the belly and the soul. 

Sunday September 19, 12:00 pm
Lunch with Andrew Heintzman, author of The New Entrepreneurs
Chez Michel Restaurant, Creemore, Ontario

In The New Entrepreneurs, author and venture capitalist Andrew Heintzman introduces us to the innovative business leaders who are at the forefront of the green economy. He profiles extraordinary individuals ahead of the curve in development of cutting-edge, clean-tech products and innovations. The New Entrepreneurs offers a fresh and visionary approach to redesigning our current economic system, one that uses the powerful forces within capitalism to act as a catalyst for change - and profit.

In the midst of gloomy economic data and mid-summer market doldrums, it's nice to spread some good news.

Timbercreek Real Estate Investment Trust, a private portfolio of 62 apartment buildings in Canada, in which we had a $40 million investment, was sold to Greystone Managed Investments in late August for $182 million - a 15% premium over the recent unit price.
