Facilitated by Firefly Insights, this session introduces employee ownership as a flexible and practical model for today's challenges. Whether you are navigating retention and recruitment issues or thinking ahead to succession, employee ownership can help. We will explore how it works, the benefits for both business owners and employees, and how it can help keep businesses locally rooted and jobs secure. You will also learn about the most common models in Canada—Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and the new Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs)—including how EOTs can offer tax-effective exits through the $10 million lifetime capital gains exemption. 

Sponsored by Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation, The City of Pembroke, Town of Petawawa, Township of Laurentian Valley, the Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce, and the Renfrew & Area Chamber, delivered in partnership with the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario and the Government of Ontario.
