OUTREACH & DEVELOPMENT

STEP Canada is actively engaged in outreach efforts that raise awareness of the trust and estate profession, promote the TEP designation, and build connections with future practitioners.

Through our presence at university sessions, industry conferences, and partner events, we are working to strengthen the profession, attract new talent, and represent our members across Canada’s professional landscape.

This page highlights where STEP is making an impact by sponsoring, speaking, or attending events that support our mission and the future of the field.
