MetroActive is organizing the first annual Let’s Build a Mine event in Toronto’s Financial District in the month leading up to PDAC 2012 (Prospectors and Developers Annual Conference).

The event will bring together mining and exploration companies, deal-makers, investors, and industry suppliers for an evening of networking among Toronto’s most active business professionals and investors.

Mining and exploration companies, as well as industry suppliers can get a head start on the 2012 investment season, ahead of PDAC and give first access to anxious investors looking for good plays. The reach of this program goes beyond the old, regulars in the industry and taps into many of the fringe individuals anxious to invest their money and are waiting to be approached with opportunities.

Join our MetroActive hosts and members for an evening focused on discovering and discussing Bay Street investment opportunities from brownfield exploration to post-IPO and established stocks. Take advantage of individual business introductions, socializing, and networking with the heads of some of Bay Street’s Mineral and Resource companies. Enjoy the expertise of industry movers and shakers and uncover investment opportunities often only reserved for qualified investors, in a friendly social environment.

The evening will begin by focusing on business networking and information exchange and will later evolve into a more casual and relaxed atmosphere.

During the evening there will be an ongoing auction for ‘Panning for Gold’ a painting created by the talented Canadian contemporary artist Lisa Cripps, President of Capital Transfer Agency Inc and who’s paintings can be found on the walls of many Bay Street offices. You can bid for this painting online before the event. Proceeds from auction towards The Townships Project -

This is a great opportunity to touch base with those that know what is happening in the investment community and on Bay Street. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to gain valuable insight and establish useful relationships with resourceful industry players.

Wine Trends To Watch in 2012 – Part 1

Written on January 24, 2012 by Liz Palmer in Entertainment, Liz Palmer, News, Practical Tips

As we enter 2012 with unsteady markets, it seems appropriate to make a guess at what the wine trends will be and what wines we should be looking for. After some initial research, I have spotted some common wine trends:

1. Local Wines – The movement to reduce carbon emissions and consume locally grown products has extended to the wine industry in the past few years and this will continue to grow.

2. Less is More – New world wines with overripe grapes and high alcohol contents have lost their popularity and will be replaced by classic, elegant wines with less alcohol levels (below 13 or 14%). This style marks the return to the tradition of flavorful, balanced wines. There will also be less wood flavors with more clear fruit forward wines.

3. Retailers Resurgent – Employees have never been more knowledgeable and have become less snobby. There will be more in-store tastings with a culture of service becoming more important.

4. Burgundy is the New Bordeaux – As prices for Bordeaux continue to rise, more wine lovers are choosing wines from Burgundy. This is evidenced at some recent New York and Hong Kong wine auctions.

Bill 168 and Accessibility Ontario…..

Written on January 21, 2012 by maxam in Uncategorized

Are you ready for when the ministry knocks on your door and starts an audit? I bet your not and your going to get a nice fine as well as the company. This can run upwards of over $50 thousand! This can potentially destroy a company, if not close it down. This includes a company that has only ONE person. It seems that people are not fully aware of what the government is doing and what these new legislation changes are and how they effect them.
We are in contact with the government in order to get the FACTS and not read this on the internet or guess what will happen. We are also aware of how they are going to perform the audit and what to expect and how to make sure you are in compliance and will pass with a great report.
Call The Staff Room today and we will arrange to meet you and go over everything and explain this properly to you. These are two very serious matters and are currently in place NOW.
Let us help you……1-888-716-7791 or email info@the-staffroom.com
thank you and we look forward to working with you!
