With origins dating back more than 160 years, MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc. has continued to grow and evolve through changing times to become one of the largest independent investment firms in the country. Staying Connected is the story of the employee-owned firm - familiarly known as "3Macs" - from its founding by one of the first stockbrokers in Montreal, Donald Lorn MacDougall, to the present day.

James Ferrabee and Michael Harrison reveal that even as decades have passed and economic trends have soared and crashed, MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier has been able to rely in good times and bad on the tradition and continued presence of the MacDougall family as well as the firm's core values: integrity, independence, and trust. Not only rich in detail about the history of the company, its founding family, and Canadian business, Staying Connected also offers a lively portrait of the city of Montreal from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first. Accessible and amusing, this is an inside account of a continual success story.
