We have been clients of Graham and Chris since 2020 and to say we have been very happy with them as our financial advisors is an understatement. Graham and Chris both are extremely knowledgeable and continue to work hard to stay up with the markets and information necessary to advise us as well as they do. They are professionals who have their clients’ best interest in mind. But even more so, Graham and Chris are genuinely good people who have built a personal relationship with us (and I’m sure all their clients) making us feel valued as more than just a client to them. I feel very confident and secure in our retirement because I have complete faith in the guidance we have been given by them. I am very thankful to have Graham and Chris as our financial advisors and readily encourage anyone needing this service to consider them.

What an incredible team they have at True North. I was looking for disability and life insurance and had no idea where to start. A friend recommended Chris Smela, saying he would take care of us—and he truly did. Chris treated us like a great friend who genuinely has your best interests at heart. We were able to talk openly about our situation without ever feeling pressured. He answers the phone and goes to bat for us every time. Chris also introduced us to Graham, a financial advisor just down the hall, who helped us set up high-yield savings accounts. What I appreciate most about Graham is that he brings the same enthusiasm to every client—whether you're investing big money or just starting out. That meant a lot to me. From start to finish, this is a place where I feel confident keeping my financial life organized, rather than scattered in different places. They’re also strong community supporters. This year, they’re backing Down to Wrestle, a wrestling program for kids with Down Syndrome

As someone still learning the ins and outs of finances and insurance, I can confidently say that working with Chris has made the process infinitely easier and less intimidating. His knowledge and experience are immediately apparent—not only does he know his stuff, but the way he explains complex topics in such a clear and detailed way shows how passionate he is about helping others. Chris genuinely takes the time to ensure you understand your options and feel confident in your decisions. I’ve learned so much thanks to him, and I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance. — Neva Dalinghaus, WCVM student at the University of Saskatchewan

Had a meeting with Chris today to talk about disability insurance, life insurance, and financial planning. I’m a final year vet student so these were important “adulting” steps that Chris walked me through! I appreciated his experience in the field, he was knowledgeable, gave me great advice, and never tried to take advantage or sell me more than I needed. I’m so happy I trusted True North Financial to walk me through this! Very happy customer!
