Graham Segger, FCPA, FCA

When Graham retired in 2010 he set some modest objectives for his post employment years. He would refocus on a number of interests which had lain dormant during the latter years of a hectic business career. History, travel, sailing and writing were a few of those passions. He set goals of writing and publishing at least one article per month, studying history, purchasing a new sailboat, joining some new not-for-profit boards and finding a warm refuge for the winter. Now well into those retirement years, it is safe to say that  those objectives and many more have been achieved.

This website contains many of his writing projects and references to the two books he has written.

Graham currently sits on the Executive Committees of several not-for-profit Boards and has served in a wide variety of not for profit organization roles over the years. In 2006 he was elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (now CPA Ontario) in recognition of his service to the profession and the community.  Effective January 2021 Graham and Diane relocated to Fonthill, Niagara Region. They spend time in Punta Gorda, Florida in the winter.
