Representative:  Tina-Marie McGee, CEA / Lead Consultant

Junkala Wealth Building has been providing its services to businesses exclusively in Northern Ontario since 1999. It offers cutting-edge personalized solutions to business owners in 4 areas of expertise.

1)  Business Tax Strategy. Helping high net worth business owners in the creation of solutions that allow them to “take their chips off the table” and realize greater returns in their pockets in a tax neutral manner.

2)  Personal Pension Plans that are the most tax effective retirement savings solution in Canada, allowing individuals to triple their tax deductions over those offered under RRSPs through the enabling of 7 tax deductions that are unavailable to RRSP savers.

3) Specialized Employee Benefit Programs which allow employers to add value to and retain their employees while uncovering savings to their company’s bottom line.

4) Succession Planning.  Helping business owners decide when to pull the pin including providing them with access to world class professional expertise in the identification of potential investor/purchaser candidates.  

As stated by their principal and lead consultant, Tina McGee; “Our needs here in the North are unique and plentiful and we understand the opportunities that others have missed. As such, Junkala Wealth Building’s associates are at the top of the table in their area of expertise”. 

The company’s philanthropic projects are tackled individually by each associate in areas that are near and dear to their heart. Accomplishments are held privately.  For her part, McGee is highly involved in community projects that have included such commitments as memberships in the Order of Eastern Star, Sudbury and Sunrisers Rotary Clubs, the membership committee of the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce as well as the Suomi and Capreol Lion’s Clubs. For the past 10 years, she has been on the planning committee for a 128-bed nursing home in Sudbury East, an ongoing commitment. She is also a pastoral/palliative care provider and has worked at the Elgin Street mission serving meals over the years. She was also a volunteer firefighter/first responder with the Estaire/Wanup Fire Department.

With regard to future opportunities for her company and the mining industry in northern Ontario, McGee sees Northern Ontario as the continuing mecca of hard rock mining with endless opportunities for growth especially in the development of mining technology that is sold globally. Base-metal mines in Northern Ontario have high operating costs which must be reduced to survive. Also as our mines are 2-3 km below surface, they are very hot; going deeper will therefore be too hot for human operators.  These two conditions will drive our mines and those in other jurisdictions towards completely autonomous equipment. Production systems will therefore become all-electric, digitally controlled, continuous conveying systems. Because we have some of the most innovative mining service and supply companies in the world, Northern Ontario has become and will continue to be a centre for development of the new productive, sustainable mines of the future.  By working together we will drive the solutions necessary to keep our companies strong and competitive in both domestic and global markets.

Junkala believes that when Dick Destefano created SAMSSA, now MineConnect, the vision was born.  To have an organization that shares in a common vision of success and for members to have the opportunity to learn the specialties of their peers is truly a win/win mission. She says that, “Individually, we can’t be everything to everyone. However within the fraternity of Mine Connect, we now have the opportunity to focus on the areas where we shine and also have the understanding and resources of who can add to the value we bring to our clients”. She continues, “Knowledge is power and being with like-minded business owners sharing the power is PRICELESS” she says. “We can all win together here in the North in creating what the mining industry needs and where it is going”. Junkala Wealth Building is proud to be a member of such an organization and works diligently to assist MineConnect in supporting and building its membership.

In her closing, Tina reiterated; “Junkala Wealth Building understands the sweat, planning, investments, research and training you have put into building your company.  A company of 100 employees earns the government 4 million dollars in earnings annually through employee income tax. It’s therefore time you are rewarded for what you are trading your life for.  Let us show you what is possible”.
