As individuals age, more and more of their issues also include their families, but often such
topics as wills,
estates, compassionate and caregiver resources, along with memorial details associated with life’s final exit are not discussed.
CARP, a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations committed to a new vision of aging for Canada, with chapters throughout Canada, the newest recently opened in B.C. covering Quesnel to Smithers, is looking to help families begin the discussion.
Set for Jan. 29 at CNC campus in Quesnel, CARP presents speakers who will address these issues.
“It’s a family affair that families don’t often like to talk about,” Chair of the CARP Prince George-Northern Interior Chapter 6, RitaMarie Wiebe said.
“The goals of this event are to make this difficult process a little easier before the actual time is upon us.”
A light lunch will be provided at the end
of this two-hour
event and presenters will be available for one-on-one discussion
Preregistration is recommended for this limited seating event with actual registration beginning at 9:45 a.m. Jan. 29.
There’s no charge, but donations to the regional chapter are always welcome to support further work in the northern communities.
More information or preregistration is available locally with Graeme Armstrong, 250-992-6617 or drop by Edward Jones office downtown.
