News and Events

These FREE sessions include information on “Who will speak for you if you can’t speak for yourself?” Do they know your wishes, your values? And the importance of communicating your wishes to your loved ones. Benefits of having a plan include minimizing family feuds and relationship breakdowns; peace of mind. Advance Care Planning is a “gift” you can give to your loved ones.

You are invited to become a Community Connector. The role is to “signpost” people to community services available to improve health and wellbeing. Often people aren’t aware of all the support services in our community. You are trained to know about the directories that exist.

We have trained 250 citizens so far. If we could train 1,000 people and each one made six connections a year, that would mean that 6,000 people a year would know about how to find available help when needed.

It feels good to help others and to feel as sense of community belonging. Join our trained citizens who can say “I know what’s out there” rather than “I wish I knew”. The next session is:

Wednesday, January 15, 10:30 – noon. Calvin Park Library. 88 Wright Crescent. To register, click here.
