Not a billionaire? Not a problem.
Leaving a legacy isn’t just for the rich and famous — anyone can make a lasting impact. Even 1% left to charity in your Will can grow into a powerful gift that helps change lives for years to come.
Take Michael’s story. Growing up, giving to charity wasn’t something his family talked about. But he always knew he wanted to be part of something bigger. When he became a new dad and wrote his Will, a friend suggested: “Leave just a small percentage to charity — even 1 or 2%. Nothing that takes away from family.”
Michael did the math. “Just 3% could become a 5-figure gift!” he said. Not bad for someone who never considered himself wealthy.
This isn’t a story about deep pockets — it’s about someone who wanted to make a difference and found a simple, meaningful way to do it.
That’s the vision behind Will Power — a national movement showing Canadians how to use their Wills to do good. As a proud Will Power partner, Wesley invites you to explore what your own legacy could look like.
