Calgary-based Rogers Associate Financial Partners Inc. has entered into a lease agreement to open its flagship office in Ontario on May 1, announced John D. Rogers, president and CEO.

The office, which is to be located on Bay Street in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, will function as the corporate and administrative nerve centre for all of the company’s expansion activities in Ontario.

This corporate eastern head office will oversee branch office openings throughout Ontario for RAFP and its subsidiaries, most notably, Canada Debt Assistance Inc. The recruitment and training of individuals who meet the Rogers’ standard of service excellence is well underway.

“I am very pleased with the progress our team has made in the preparations to establish an entry into the lucrative Ontario market. Our expansion plans are on track and we will begin to see the results of our efforts paying off in a very tangible way,” says Rogers. “As the growth of personal household debt continues to increase at historical rates, the demand for our services becomes even greater.”

Rogers Associate Financial Partners is a financial management company with core business interests in debt counselling, mortgage brokering, insurance brokering and financial planning. The company currently operates offices throughout British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba and has aggressive plans to develop new product lines and to enter into new markets in Canada from coast to coast.
