We’re proud to share that McQuaig has officially joined Family Enterprise Canada (FEC) —connecting two organizations that share a deep commitment to helping family businesses thrive.
This partnership marks a powerful step forward in supporting multigenerational family enterprises across Canada. Together, we aim to provide families and their advisors with science-backed tools, guidance, and resources that support talent decisions, strengthen leadership, and build aligned, resilient teams.
A shared mission to support legacy and growth
Family Enterprise Canada is the national community for business families and their advisors. With a focus on education, connection, and succession planning, FEC empowers family-owned businesses to build lasting legacies. McQuaig’s decades of experience in psychometric assessment and talent strategy aligns perfectly with that mission.

"This partnership is about equipping these businesses with practical, proven tools that support both the relational dynamics and business goals that drive success."
