FMI MANITOBA presents: Winnipeg's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global, Canadian and Winnipeg economy and finances has been and will continue to be significant. The City of Winnipeg remains committed to maintaining essential services for our residents, while balancing the health, safety, and well-being of our employees and residents. In this challenging environment, key players in the city’s COVID-19 pandemic response will discuss:
Join us for an hour of open conversation with the three pivotal role players in the city’s fight against COVID-19.
Ethics is interwoven into everything that we do. This is especially true for public servants. While we execute the mandates of our departments and the elected officials we serve, we make countless ethical decisions in our business and personal lives daily. The work of serving the public interest is a noble but often complicated pursuit.
FMI – Ontario Chapter is delighted to welcome Ontario Integrity Commissioner Wake and Toronto Integrity Commissioner Batty. Experience this unique opportunity to hear how the Integrity Commissioners’ offices work at both the provincial and municipal level. After the Integrity Commissioners discuss their mandates, you will have the opportunity to join the conversation by asking questions to learn more about upcoming trends and considerations in their offices.

ALN-CC Spring Networking Mixer in Collaboration with KPMG and University of Ottawa
Wednesday May 12th, 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Online event (The meeting invitation link will be sent out prior to the event)
The Aspiring Leaders Network- Capital Chapter (ALN-CC), supported by the Financial Management Institute of Canada (FMI) Capital Chapter, KPMG Ottawa Office and uOttawa CO-OP is excited to invite you to our Spring Networking Mixer! Due to the current pandemic situation, this networking event will be held virtually. We will be using an online platform where there will be different breakout rooms to facilitate discussions and networking.
Not only do you get to enjoy meeting other professionals in the industry, but you will have the opportunity to listen to a short presentation by Professor Cheryl Qi, University of Ottawa professor, who will be discussing the FinTech Sector.
‘’Do not get me wrong. FinTech has a significantly positive impact on our society. However, I believe that FinTech will not be widely adopted until its risks are fully understood and manageable. In this talk, I will explain the deep-rooted flaws of machine learning algorithms and provide real-life case studies of the crises that this technology has led us to. In particular, we will talk about facial (mis)recognition, the peer-to-peer lending crash in China, AI-induced discrimination, as well as the algorithmic trading and stock market plunge.’’
We also invited leaders from Finance Professionals Network (FPN) who are excited to share some tips on professional development in the Finance sector of Federal Government. This is the perfect opportunity for students and young professionals to take a break from their classes or careers to take advantage of this event. Come network with industry professionals who are happy to share their experiences and advice to help you with your professional aspirations.
We invite you to attend as mentors or mentees to have a rich exchange during the networking portion of the event. We look forward to seeing you there.
