TCS Highlights
St. Michael’s Hospital Partnership
Earlier this year, TCS announced it will continue its longstanding partnership with CardioLink, a St. Michael’s Hospital research program that conducts surgical clinical trials. The program has recently achieved notable success, and we couldn’t be happier to see these positive results. For example, “Empa-Heart” is the first study showing how a diabetes medication can protect the heart. Its follow-up, “Empa-Heart 2”, will investigate whether the same medication can protect the hearts of non-diabetics.
“From small beginnings, CardioLink has evolved into a real powerhouse, and it’s putting St. Mike’s and Toronto on the map in this area of research,” said Dr. Subodh Verma, an internationally renowned cardiac surgeon and scientist. “Many successful trials and important advances have come out of it, as well as high-impact publications. There is now a hub of national and international cardiac research at St. Michael’s Hospital.”
Together with the St. Michael’s Hospital Foundation, TCS has set up a donation matching program to help raise funds for this critical research program. We encourage you to support CardioLink’s cardiovascular study by donating here, or by contacting Susan DeLisle at delisles@smh.ca.
TCS reached out to Dr. Verma, and he talked about the connection with The Condo Store: “The CardioLink platform at St. Michael’s Hospital has made great strides and successes to date and couldn't have been possible without the generous and incredible support of The Condo Store's founders, John Mehlenbacher and Simon S. Mass, as industry and community donors. I have known Simon for well over a decade, personally and professionally, and we are extremely grateful for the genuine and heartfelt partnership we have with TCS.”
Did you get a chance to see the two recent Forbes articles by our CEO Simon S. Mass? He focused on disruption to provoke changing up the real estate game in a very stagnant industry – you can read that story HERE. Simon also talked about how investing in your city has many socio-economic benefits along with financial gains. That article can be found HERE.
Being a game changer is not a linear or straightforward concept. Most of the time, people aren’t aware that things are shifting and morphing. However, given how the pandemic has changed our daily home and professional lives, this topic has become increasingly relevant today. Moving through uncertainty and change will undoubtedly lead to a greater number of new people and companies that successfully emerge from the pandemic ready to disrupt and pivot.
Investing in your city has also taken on new importance since COVID-19. Cities have been affected, and there is work to be done by public and private interests. However, by investing in your community – especially in gentrification developments – the overall benefits outweigh any monetary gains. This forward-thinking approach illustrates how a rising tide lifts all boats.
A Supportive Scholarship Program
TCS continues its long-term support of three Ontario post-secondary institutions. We are proud to work alongside the development teams at these institutions and will happily share news coming out of our partnerships. We will also soon share the details of award recipients.
“We feel a certain responsibility to help out and make whatever impact we can when there are areas of need,” says our CEO, Simon S. Mass.
“Wrapped up inside our company’s community program, the scholarships and partnerships with these three leading business schools are one way we can share some of our experiences and help students who are hopefully going to be the next game-changers in their chosen industries.
TCS loves to support the next wave of leaders.
Simon continued, “A little help along the way towards achieving your dreams and goals can be very meaningful,”
“As an executive group, we believe in community-building, executive leadership and investment analysis, so we’ve based these three around those concepts.”
Update on TCS’ 15th Anniversary Program
You may recall that in celebration of our 15th anniversary recently, we offered clients participating in a Q3-2020 deal a free two-year lease on the newly redesigned 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SUV.
We are happy these clients have been ordering their new vehicles through our client service representative from Grand Touring Automobiles (GTA) in Toronto. We will be sharing photos later this year as they pick up their 15th Anniversary gifts from TCS.
We are always pleased to offer what no other firm does, because we truly value every client relationship.
