April 2017: Dividend Update

    April is one of my big dividend months, with the majority of my quarterly dividend stocks paying out. Which means I get to see some big, juicy dividends hitting my Questrade Brokerage Account.

Company	Ticker (TSX)	$(Cdn)	Notes
Dream Office REIT	D.UN	20.5
Veresen	VSN	8.33
Pizza Pizza	PZA	9.98
Pembina Pipeline Corp.	PPL	15.2
RioCan REIT	REI.UN	9.40
Algonquin Power & Utility	AQN	79.41	+$8
Bank of Nova Scotia	BNS	42.92	+$1.16
BCE Inc.	BCE	40.95	+$2.1
Toronto Dominion	TD	34.8	+$2.9
Total Dividends		261.49	+$10.90

    From the previously comparable month I have had some good dividend growth for quite a few of these positions. With dividend raises from BCE, TD and BNS, as well as the ever fluctuating foreign exchange rate with AQN. Although I do expect to be getting a fair bit less for the rest of the year from AQN as the Canadian Dollar strengthens against the US Dollar.

    Overall I am super happy to be receiving over $260 in dividends in a single month. That is no small chunk of change to be sure! Its comparable to having worked for 6 hours at minimum wage. Except that I did not have to actually work it, and instead I got paid for saving!
