Russ Lazaruk
I believe that successful investing is more than just a numbers game. As a leader in both the non-profit and business sectors, I have learnt that building and growing a sustainable enterprise requires the integration of financial & economic considerations with environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
My investment career began over 25 years ago after a diverse background of farming, forestry and soldiering. I have worked with boutique investment dealers, a major Canadian bank owned dealer and a Global Investment Bank. I am currently a Managing Director & Portfolio Manager of a multi-family office and Investment Counsel. Previously I have served as a branch manager and associate director responsible for teams of advisors which added to my broad career experience and skills. Nevertheless, the well-being of my clients is, and always will be, my primary focus.
All of my clients benefit from a systematic process that allows me to assess their needs and build a plan that will guide them to their goals. In doing this I take into account their personal values that may affect their investment choices. The investment process is no less rigorous and integrates financial analysis with ESG considerations.
I hold the Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) and Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI) designations from the Canadian Securities Institute. I have also earned the Responsible Investment Specialist (RIS) and Responsible Investment Advisor Certification (RIAC) from the Responsible Investment Association and PRI Academy.
Work aside, my community volunteering keeps me active as chair/director (current & past) of a number of Greater Victoria organizations including Camosun College, Garth Homer Society, Duke of Edinburgh Awards Society, the Saltspring Island Advisory Planning Commission (Islands Trust), and Greater Victoria Public Library. I am also a Rotary Club member.

We believe investors should not have to sacrifice their core values to meet their financial goals, so we created the Blue Heron ESG Leader Portfolios to offer Responsible Investing to our clients.
The flexibility of the AMA discretionary managed portfolio system has allowed us to be innovative in our thinking and launch these portfolios that focus on sustainable investing. In a dynamic, interconnected world, there is no “simply getting rid of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical or morally ambiguous,” We developed tough screening criteria – our Blue Heron Investment Principles – which constitute a methodology to remove subjectivity from our Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) screening and create a reasonable, objective, and repeatable means to identify better companies and build better portfolios.
Our financial planning approach starts by listening. We want to achieve a full understanding of where you are, and where you would like to go. We work with our clients to develop a meaningful plan for them. We listen, to identify key issues and help you to understand the options available. From this we guide you through the process to make better informed decisions.
We have the scale, flexibility and independence to tailor solutions just for you.
Pascale Imbeau
Chacun d’entre nous possède un ADN financier qui lui est propre. Il est fait de dizaines de molécules de vie qui gravitent dans notre quotidien et qui interagissent les unes avec les autres : notre famille, notre carrière, nos projets immédiats et nos rêves pour demain, notre retraite, notre entreprise, nos valeurs profondes.
Mon rôle – et mon savoir-faire –, c’est d’élaborer une stratégie financière fidèle à cet ADN. C’est d’épauler chacun de mes clients afin qu’il atteigne ses objectifs sans oublier sa qualité de vie et en respectant ses convictions. C’est de le soutenir pour qu’il puisse se projeter dans le futur avec une bonne dose de confiance et de fierté.
Lorsque j’ai choisi la finance comme carrière il y a une vingtaine d’années, je voulais offrir à mes clients des services de gestion d’actifs alliant connaissance pointue des marchés, intégration de certaines valeurs et accompagnement personnalisé. Aujourd’hui, c’est une équipe et des partenaires, tous ces gens de qui je m’entoure, qui cultivent cette vision à la fois rigoureuse et humaine de la « finance ».
Je suis l’alliée des familles, des professionnels et des chefs d’entreprise que je conseille. Spécialisée dans l’art de travailler ensemble et pour leur assurer un accompagnement de la plus haute qualité, je jumèle leurs autres professionnels de confiance et leurs proches à notre propre réseau de partenaires.
Dès le tournant du nouveau millénaire, j’ai intégré à ma pratique l’investissement responsable et durable. J’en ai développé une expertise, ceci tant par conviction personnelle que pour répondre aux attentes de ma clientèle. Membre de l’Association pour l’Investissement responsable depuis plus de 15 ans, aujourd’hui encore je continue d’affiner mes connaissances, de me documenter et de participer à des conférences spécialisées pour me tenir au courant des derniers développements et enrichir ma vision de l’investissement responsable.
Ce qui guide mes actions et m’anime au quotidien, c’est d’abord mon client. C’est de l’accompagner, de lui dire les vraies choses, en toute transparence. C’est de lui permettre de s’accomplir à la lumière de ses aspirations et de ses valeurs.
C’est aussi de savoir qu’ensemble nous faisons les bons choix, ceux qui respectent l’humain et son environnement dans tous les sens du terme. C’est de sentir que je peux faire une différence avec lui, et pour lui!
C’est là ma façon d’aborder la gestion de patrimoine.
Janice Honeyman
Janice is a trusted Investment Advisor to high net worth conservative investors, small businesses, corporations, institutions, estates and foundations. She currently manages a multi-million dollar client base, customizing investment and financial planning strategies to meet the individual needs for each of her clients.
Janice believes that each investor’s needs are unique and investment and financial planning must reflect that reality. In addition, she understands that preservation of capital is of paramount concern and can be best obtained with a well structured, diversified portfolio.
The process leading to financial independence usually begins with a complete review of current and future life goals. Everyone is different, with individual expectations and objectives. With goals based investing, these goals drive every decision made in regards to managing wealth.
It is important to develop a customized investment strategy, matching expectations with what is realistic and comfortable for each client in terms of risk. Janice often works in collaboration with a wide range of professionals in the legal, accounting and financial planning fields to meet her clients’ specific needs and goals.
Darcy Hermary, CFP®, CLU
I grew up on a horse farm and lived in Alberta until attending the University of Western Ontario. My wife, Helen, and I now live in Caledon with our twin son and daughter. I enjoy many things in life including: humour; reading; music; food; photography; skiing; cycling; hiking; and coaching my son’s baseball team. I have a strong interest in environmental issues and social responsibility.
I began my career in financial services in 1991 and have worked to achieve designations such as: Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU). I enjoy talking with members about responsible investing and charitable giving. I am able to put members at ease and bring simplicity to our conversations, especially when discussing the sometimes complex world of investments and financial planning.

I was a proud volunteer for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics serving as the timer for the Figure Skating events. This role arose from a 25-year volunteer career in Figure Skating as an internationally ranked judge. In my community, I am currently a citizen member of the District of West Vancouver finance committed and a board member on the West Vancouver Community Centres Society. I am involved in volunteer activities at the school our children attend and the sports that they play.
One of the accomplishments in my life that I am most proud of is training and running a marathon in the year that I turned 50. I have always been athletic but never a runner (I am still not a runner) but was able to make a few lifestyle choices and learned how to make this happen! I am proud finisher of the New York Marathon and a few half marathons and 10K’s since then!
