Download Kingsdale Advisors 2026 Proxy Season Review

The 2026 proxy season proved that preparation matters more than ever. Canadian contests reaching a vote hit a five-year high, campaign volume declined, but the fights that remained went further and hit harder, and boards with real shareholder relationships came out on top.

Geopolitical Risk Is No Longer a Black Swan Event, It's a Boardroom Priority

Most boards can quantify their exposure to interest rates, but few can quantify their exposure to geopolitics, and investors are starting to notice the gap. Find out how to prepare your board for a world where geopolitical risk has become a governance priority.

View Image Gallery

‍

On September 23, 2026, Kingsdale Advisors welcomed guests to our Toronto office for a panel discussion on "Shareholder Engagement in a New Era" and the launch of our 2026 Proxy Season Review.

Founder and CEO Wes Hall opened the event, and President Aaron Boles moderated a candid conversation with:

  • Jason Koskela, VP, Mergers & Acquisitions, Ontario Securities Commission
  • Catherine McCall, CEO, Canadian Coalition for Good Governance (CCGG)
  • John Wieck, COO, Glass, Lewis & Co.
  • Shengjun (Victor) Li, CFA, EVP, Governance Advisory, Kingsdale Advisors

The panel explored how fragmenting voting models, shifting proxy advisor policies and AI are reshaping the relationship between issuers and investors, and what boards and management teams should prepare for next season.

Thank you to our panelists and to everyone who joined us.
