What you need to know before you go!

That’s the name of a 2-day conference being hosted by the Thompson Seniors Community Resource Council on January 27th and 28th.

Penny Byer, the Program Coordinator for the Seniors Council says the conference will address topics many of us are reluctant to talk about or ones we haven’t thought about.

“We’ll have what we call the legal stuff, these things about wills and executors and investments and donations. What do you do with all of these things and how can you have everything set up before you pass so that the people you leave behind don’t have any major issues.”

Other topics include palliative care, health care directives, funeral arrangements, medically assisted dying, grieving, and pitfalls and problems that can result from lack of planning.

Byer said registration is required.  She can be reached at thompsonseniors55@gmail.com.

More details are available on Thompson Today this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10.
