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.
