Proud to Thank Canada’s Physicians for 50 Remarkable Years.

OTTAWA, Sept. 26, 2019,/CNW/ – MD Financial Management Inc. celebrates its 50th year today as the only national financial services firm exclusively dedicated to the financial well-being of physicians and their families. To mark this milestone, we are proud to give thanks where it is due – to Canada’s doctors.
Canadians are invited to join us and recognize a doctor who has made a difference in their life by signing a digital thank-you card at ThankYou Doctors.ca. Add your voice to the many Canadians who have already said thank you.

Every day across Canada, physicians care for patients in remarkable and life-changing ways.

One of MD’s own wants to thank the doctor who helped save the life of her son when he was just three months old:

“I want to give my heartfelt thanks for the treatment and care that the physicians at CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario) gave to my son and my family,” said Rebecca Ford, Organization Development Coordinator at MD. “My son was admitted to the ICU with severe dehydration and, ultimately, he needed an emergency intraosseous infusion procedure to stabilize him. After many tests and sleepless nights, he was eventually diagnosed with a severe cows milk protein allergy. Hearing that your three-month-old has to live with a potentially life-altering allergy can be overwhelming for anyone. But thanks to the planning, guidance, and monitoring of the staff at CHEO, he is now a healthy 4½-year-old with absolutely zero allergies or intolerances — who enjoys as much cheese and milk as his mom lets him get his hands on!”

We’re proud to say thank you to Canada’s physicians

“We recognize that doctors make some of the most important moments and milestones in our lives possible,” said Brian Peters, President and Chief Executive Officer of MD Financial Management. “We are proud of our 50 years of experience exclusively supporting physicians at every step of their lives and careers — from medical school through retirement. Inspired by how they work tirelessly for their patients’ well-being, we continue to work with them to help them achieve their financial goals.”
While much has changed since 1969, one thing has remained constant: MD’s commitment to acting in the best interests of Canada’s physicians.

Luminosity Gaming partners with BIG Digital to launch first of its kind eSports and gaming experience

Luminosity Gaming, one of the largest and most successful esports organizations in North America, has partnered with experiential technology company BIG Digital to develop an innovative first-of-its-kind interactive gaming activation and experience, with the first event taking place recently at Bud Light Dreams Festival on June 29 and 30, 2019.

Dreams is a two-day, three-stage outdoor sensorial celebration of Toronto’s music and arts community. Luminosity, well known for its overwhelming success in engaging with esports and gaming fans, landed at Dreams with its mobile tour that included interactive touchscreen gameplay, on-site gaming stations and merchandise sales.

“We believe there is a massive intersection of fans between the worlds of gaming and music. Our launch and presence at Dreams validated that belief. We received an overwhelmingly positive response throughout the weekend and can’t wait to replicate this success at other events in the future,” said Steve Maida, founder and president of Luminosity Gaming.

The esports category is exploding and becoming one of the most requested categories that brands want to activate against. BIG and Luminosity are building programs and products that educate brand partners and provide an easy entry point to connect with Luminosity audiences.

“The intent is to provide the esports experience to a wider range of audience groups. A key aspect was designing mobile and flexible structures for customizing the experience. The combination of gaming containers and digital technology, including a giant LED billboard and pop-up digital screens, featured Luminosity content that showcased team and player segments as well as a curated social conversation to festival attendees. A Wi-Fi network enabled mobile contesting and further interactions and engagement by the attendees,” said Michael Girgis, co-founder of BIG Digital.
Luminosity‘s success in connecting with a music-focused audience is not new. In April 2019, Grammy-nominated artist Tory Lanez joined Luminosity’s ownership group. As an ambassador for the franchise, Lanez continues to engage with fans, grow the brand, create content, and help the franchise continue its track record of success through creative ideas and by leveraging Tory’s wealth of experience in the music industry.

In addition to the launch at Dreams, Luminosity has recently made multiple game-changing moves:
The Official LG Fortnite House, a content hub and house in Florida featuring four of the most popular and innovative creators in gaming, launched on June 16, 2019. Formula, Kiwiz, Nicks, and Randumb joined an already stacked roster of Luminosity creators, bringing with them over 900,000 Twitter followers, 7 million YouTube followers, and close to 1 billion total video views. With their addition, the Luminosity online fanbase increased from approximately 50 million to approximately 58 million followers in total.

On May 31, 2019, Luminosity Gaming and Enthusiast Gaming announced a proposed merger. The merger and partnership includes eight esports teams (including Luminosity’s management of the Vancouver Titans Overwatch League franchise), 40 esports and gaming influencers, 80+ gaming media websites, and 900+ YouTube and Twitch channels, and will create a globally leading organization that will produce the best and most engaging experiences for a massive audience of approximately 200 million.

As the franchise continues its growth mission by investing in new teams, players, streamers, and influencers, stay connected with Luminosity for updates:

Luminosity Gaming seeks to bring new audiences to esports

Luminosity Gaming seeks to bring new audiences to esports


Luminosity Gaming has partnered with Big Digital to launch gaming activation sessions.

Luminosity and Big Digital are looking to bring esports closer to mainstream media and a wider esports audience by providing that audience with a more interactive experience. The partnership aims to share the esports experience to a broader audience by combining gaming containers and digital technology.

Luminosity is focusing on music audiences, as they believe there is a large intersection between the gaming and musical worlds. Luminosity’s mobile setup with gaming stations and merchandise stalls was present at the recent Bud Light Dreams Festival. The mobile setup allows Luminosity to promote its teams and players and provides it with many channels of interaction with the audience, such as mobile contests and lotteries.

Bud Light’s Dream Festival took place in Toronto on June 29. It was a three-day long outdoor music festival at which Luminosity’s project received generally positive responses from attendees.

The partnership is also working towards educating its brand partners about the esports industry and marketplace.

Luminosity has been working hard to contribute to the growth of esports, especially in terms of connecting with different non-endemic audience groups. Grammy-nominated artist Tory Lanez has been helping Luminosity engage with more fans and grow the brand further as the organization’s brand ambassador and a part of its ownership group since April 2019.

Luminosity also announced the Official LG Fornite House located in Florida in June. Alex "Formula" Kushelevskiy, John "Kiwiz" Payne, Nick "Nicks" Spoerke, and Jordan "Randumb" Schneider have collectively boosted the brand with over one billion views on YouTube, seven million Youtube subscribers, and over 900,000 Twitter followers.

Big Digital is a provider of interactive design solutions in North America and is a leader in the digital marketing industry. Its specialty is turning marketing initiatives into interactive campaigns that help monetize digital programs.

Luminosity Gaming and BIG Digital launch exciting new partnership at Bud Light Dreams Festival


Luminosity Gaming and BIG Digital launch exciting new partnership at Bud Light Dreams Festival

Luminosity Gaming have announced a brand new partnership with technology company BIG Digital, with both parties aiming to create unique gaming experiences for players. 


The highly respected North America esports organization linked up with the technology company to launch the first of many gaming activation sessions at the Bud Light Dreams Festival, which ran between June 29 to June 30.

Following the festival, Steve Maida, founder and president of Luminosity Gaming, revealed the organization's ambition to bring an esports experience not only to more gamers, but also to branch out to a wider audience in the future.

"We believe there is a massive intersection of fans between the worlds of gaming and music. Our launch and presence at Dreams validated that belief," Maida said.

He added: "We received an overwhelmingly positive response throughout the weekend and can't wait to replicate this success at other events in the future."

Founded in February 2015, Luminosity Gaming have achieved remarkable success in the esports industry so far and BIG Digital is just one of many big businesses they are now affiliated to - with the likes of Scuf Gaming, Twitch, and Universal Music Canada all current sponsors.

This partnership is just the latest step taken by the esports organization to bridge the gap between esports and the mainstream, after signing Formula, Kiwiz, Nicks, and Randumbs creators in June. 
BIG Digital co-founder Michael Girgis echoed those same aspirations, too, and even gave esports fans and festival goers an idea of what to expect from this partnership moving forward.






"The intent is to provide the esports experience to a wider range of audience groups," Girgis said.

"The combination of gaming containers and digital technology, including a giant LED billboard and pop-up digital screens, featured Luminosity content that showcased team and player segments as well as a curated social conversation to festival attendees."

Attendees of Dreams, as well as events taking place later in the calendar year and beyond, will include Wi-Fi network enabled mobile contesting, pitting players against one another in an interactive setting.


Both businesses will be working closely together to ensure these experiences are increasingly interactive, with a view to potentially expand their audience to perhaps people that weren't interested in esports and gaming before.
