Launching the RPIA ACE Program

In May 2022, our ESG Innovation Team launched the RPIA ACE Program , which stands for Academic & Community Empowerment and aims to provide a wealth of opportunities to disenfranchised groups either through academic or community driven initiatives. The program will focus on supporting the next generation of leaders in Canada through a variety of programs including scholarships, internships, mentorship, and financial literacy. As a firm, we are committed to empowering and nurturing the unlimited potential in our community.
