This fall, we had the pleasure of gathering with clients, family, and friends in Edmonton for a truly special Client Appreciation Evening which marked 30 years of The Schmidt Investment Group.

Held at the Royal Glenora Club, the evening was a celebration of relationships built over three decades, shared values, and the trust our clients place in us every day. From the moment guests arrived for the welcome reception, the atmosphere was filled with laughter, connection, and gratitude.

Clients can view highlights from the evening in our Client Appreciation Video.
 

 

Reflecting on Our Journey

The evening’s program opened with reflections on the firm’s beginnings and evolution, accompanied by photos and stories from the past 30 years. Marvin Schmidt shared thoughts on leadership, lessons learned through multiple market cycles, and the responsibility that comes with stewarding wealth across generations.

One of the most meaningful moments of the evening came as the Schmidt family joined Marvin on stage to offer their personal perspectives on legacy, community impact, and the relationships that have shaped both the firm and their family over the years.

Later in the program, clients had the opportunity to hear directly from Marvin in a live interview. The conversation touched on navigating uncertainty, philanthropy, and the big-picture thinking that continues to guide SIG’s approach today.

Honouring Excellence: Client Care Award

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the 2025 Client Care Award, which recognizes an individual who exemplifies our commitment to service, integrity, and client-first thinking.

We were proud to announce Dylan Eschyshyn as this year’s recipient.

This recognition reflects Dylan’s unwavering dedication to our clients and our core values. His adaptability, curiosity, and drive consistently inspire those around him. Dylan embraces change with optimism, seeks innovative solutions, and leads by example, demonstrating what it truly means to serve others with passion and care.

Clients can view Dylan’s Client Care Award video to learn more about his impact.

 

 

A Night to Remember The evening concluded with a comedy performance by Dave Hemstad, followed by time to mingle, reconnect, and continue conversations well into the night. Throughout the program, one theme remained constant: gratitude. We are deeply grateful for our clients, our team, and the relationships that have made the last 30 years possible.

To everyone who joined us in Edmonton, thank you for being part of our journey. Your trust and partnership are at the heart of everything we do.

We look forward to continuing this journey together and to welcoming you again at next year’s Client Appreciation Evening.
