Tisdale

Gord helps farm, business, and family Clients with their insurance and investment needs, offering corporate strategies and advanced insurance solutions. He is dedicated to providing trustworthy advice and a better Client experience. 

Gord wants Clients to see value in Aurora’s practices and strives for their peace of mind regarding their overall financial picture and planning for security. He loves making a difference in people's lives, delivering insurance cheques, and letting people know they can retire. Every day is a new challenge, and Gord always steps up to meet it. 

Gord has three kids, so his interests outside of work revolve around their activities. He is a big sports fan and loves reading about game stats and data. He takes great pride in community involvement and always tries to make a difference in other people’s lives.
 

When Kali started working for Aurora in 2009, she immediately saw the dramatic impact Sun Life products can have on people’s lives. She provides Clients with the best possible service, helping them with all their needs, big or small, for individuals or corporations, by discussing, planning, and implementing Clients’ current and future financial goals.  

She helps Clients with investments, including RRSPs, RESPs, TFSAs, RRIFs, LIRAs, mutual funds, GICs and segregated funds; and life, critical illness and disability insurance.

Kali works to see Clients retire happy and assured, and businesses retain employees and have their employees also retire happy and assured. She sees her biggest impact in alleviating Clients’ financial burdens during their time of need, like ensuring loved ones are protected during death, sickness or disability.

Outside the office, her favourite activity is watching her kids play sports, and she stays busy volunteering, spending time at the lake, hiking and camping, travelling, and cooking — all surrounded by family and friends.
 

Dawn is the “go-to” person for the Aurora team. She oversees processes and policies, maintains quality assurance, and handles many day-to-day business tasks. She continually strives to upgrade the Client experience by developing and improving company processes and procedures while identifying and anticipating areas of concern to avoid future problems.

Dawn’s top priority is making the Client feel confident in Aurora. Whether it is the first meeting with an advisor or regular service, she wants Clients to feel certain their entire team is dedicated to helping them achieve their goals in a pleasant, efficient and professional manner. She also values the Aurora team and their hard work and strives to make them feel heard, fulfilled and supported.

When not in the office, Dawn enjoys reading, gardening, going to the lake and spending time with her family. She was born and raised in Tisdale and has lived there most of her adult life. Rural living plays a central role in her life and she is raising her two boys with the same small-town values.

As an administrative assistant in our Tisdale office, Lesley helps create a welcoming and organized experience for Clients from the moment they walk through the door or pick up the phone. Her role includes managing reception, scheduling and prepping for meetings, assisting with insurance renewals, and providing day-to-day support to the Aurora team.

Having lived in Tisdale for most of her life, she enjoys connecting with people and making Clients feel comfortable and welcome. She takes pride in helping Clients with their needs and being a friendly and familiar presence in the office.

Lesley brings a wealth of knowledge with her to Aurora. Her years of experience in reception, clerical roles, and management have given her a strong organizational and interpersonal skill set, along with an appreciation for the importance of providing thoughtful and reliable service.

Now enjoying semi-retirement, you’ll be able to catch Lelsey at the office a few days a week. For the remainder of the week, Lesley enjoys spending time with her husband, their two grown sons, along with the rest of her family. She is an avid hockey and Blue Jays fan and loves spending time at the cabin, touring the prairies during the summer, and escaping on a cruise to warmer destinations in the winter.
