Know your SISIP team Part II

SISIP — Last week, you met some of your SISIP Financial Advisors. This week, we want to introduce you to the rest of the team. We all play an integral role in what we offer: providing tailored advice and product solutions that enhance the financial health and security of all members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) communities and their families.

Chris Fraser

Our Insurance Expert, Chris helps all CAF members understand if and how much life insurance they need, given their specific personal and financial circumstances. In addition to 17 years at TD Canada Trust Bank and eight years at SISIP, Chris has a B.Comm specializing in finance from the University of Calgary. His lengthy career in financial services places him in the unique position to refer his clients to other subject matter experts as needed. Chris is a married father of two teenage daughters and two cats. When he’s not attending his daughters’ dance performances, you can find him working on his latest DIY project, hiking or relaxing with an NFL football game.

Craig York

Our Financial Counselling Expert with over eight years as a Financial Counsellor and 10+ years in financial services. In 2017, Craig was named Credit Counsellor of the Year as the recipient of the Exceptional Service Award from Credit Counselling Canada. His background in banking as a mortgage specialist, financial advisor and branch supervisor gives him that extra depth of experience and insight, making him so effective in his job. Extremely passionate about financial literacy, he is relatable and makes any complex topic easy to understand. Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Craig is a UVic alumnus and understands the financial challenges of living here. He spends his spare time with his two young children, reading or watching basketball.
