SUMMARY:Provincial Learning Event - Digital Security Skills and Resources for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Register for BC CRN’s March Provincial Learning Event – Digital Security Skills and Resources for Older Adults. \nIs it time to figure out how to use your technology with confidence?  Technology keeps us connected\, healthy & happy\, but only if you know how to use it. Before this decade ends\, over seven million Canadian seniors will be making plans to age at home. And that home is expected to have at least 15 connected devices. Technology can help older adults with digital skills remain independent\, connected\, and healthy. It can also make home a safe place to grow old and save governments\, families\, and seniors money. \nBut a lack of digital skills leads to social isolation\, makes accessing government and other online services challenging\, and creates a population of older adults threatened to be left behind as technology further integrates into our daily lives. \n\nThe Gluu Society is a nonprofit that provides digital skills learning resources to older Canadians and the people & organizations that support them.  Join Gluu‘s founder & CEO\, Linda Fawcus\, discuss what digital security and digital literacy skills are necessary to help older adults confidently use technology… one tap at a time.

SUMMARY:National Fraud Prevention Month
DESCRIPTION:March is Fraud Prevention Month\, a month of activities and events that aims to help Canadians recognize\, reject and report fraud.   Did you know that the fight against fraud starts with you? The old saying is true: knowledge is power. Avoiding fraud is all about knowing how to recognize the signs\, reject the claims that seem too good to be true and reporting them to the authorities.  Seniors and vulnerable adults are frequently the targets of scams. Fraudsters continue to target Canadians\, stealing their hard-earned money and leaving them devastated. The latest data shows Canadians lost approximately $97 million to fraud. \nTips to Protect Yourself Against Fraud \n\nNever give out your personal\, confidential information over the phone\nProtect your banking information\, never reveal your PIN or passwords to anyone\nNever pay money to claim your money or a prize\, there should be no processing fee\nKeep your personal information safe\, an identity thief will go through garbage and recycling bins\nBe skeptical\, if something seems too good to be true\, it probably is\n\nHelp keep yourself and other vulnerable adults safe by sharing information about scams with them.  At times\, vulnerable adults can feel confused or pressured\, you must be informed that it’s okay to hang up the phone or delete an email.  Fraud prevention is a responsibility we all share. \nFor more information\, please review our financial abuse resources or contact your local CRN.

SUMMARY:Provincial Learning Event - Family Caregivers of BC
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for this session.\nCaregiving is not new\, but families in Canada are now providing more complex care for a longer period of time than ever before. Family caregiving can take many forms. Do you provide care and support for an adult family member\, partner\, friend or neighbour? If so\, you are a caregiver. \nCaregivers are important supports in the health of family members and friends in BC. They also play an important role in reporting adult abuse\, neglect\, and self-neglect. Being a caregiver can sometimes feel like being on an emotional roller coaster. Many caregivers are also caregiving alone. In this session\, participants can expect to learn about: \n\nWhat a family caregiver is and the types of tasks and activities that comprise the role.\nCommon caregiver needs and the impacts of the work on the health of the caregiver.\nThe needs of a caregiver to stay healthy and the complexities of the feelings a caregiver may experience.\nThe resources and supports for caregivers\, including the process of creating a support plan and tips on how to strengthen a caregiver’s support network.\n\nThis presentation is open to everyone\, including people who are caregivers\, people who will become caregivers\, and people who work with caregivers. There will be time at the end of the session for questions. \n(Photo: L. Rodrigues)\nLycia Rodrigues began her professional career as a psychologist in Brazil\, working within a public health programming context for adults and caregivers dealing with chronic diseases. She has a \nMaster’s degree with a focus on Gerontology. Improving the quality of life for seniors and caregivers has been a significant part of Lycia’s vocational calling in various capacities in non-profit organizations and health authorities in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Lycia is grateful that her work at FCBC allows her to connect deeply with caregivers\, developing relationships that offer her a better understanding of how to increase meaningful supports for family and friend caregivers. \nProvincial Learning Events are free webinars that take place the third Tuesday of the month from 10:30 am to 12 pm (PST). Everyone is welcome.

SUMMARY:BC Crime Prevention Week
DESCRIPTION:Nov. 1-7 is BC Crime Prevention Week. Seniors are safer when we reach out and show them\, we care. Elder Abuse is a growing problem in Canada.  Involved\, caring communities keep all vulnerable adults safe. \nApproximately 1 in 10 Canadians aged 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse although these statistics may not show the true picture as some adults do not report crime or abuse. \nEveryday\, citizens especially seniors are impacted by the effects of crime in our communities. Awareness is the best protection against crime. Many people may not realize the simple actions make a difference not only their own lives\, but the lives of those in their communities. Power to instill change is found in the knowledge each of us hold. This creates a responsibility to do what we can in our communities to bring awareness to the issues impacting the sense of safety and well-being. \nIt must be noted that abuse can fall into 2 categories: criminal and non-criminal offences. Possible signs of abuse: \n\nthe onset of unexplained physical injuries\, like bruising\, sprains or broken bones\na change in financial status\nabandoning / leaving a dependent elder alone for long periods of time\na sudden change in the elder’s appearance\nbedsores\, unattended medical needs\, poor hygiene\, and unusual weight loss are indicators of possible neglect\nbelittling\, threats\, and other uses of power and control by spouses or those who should be in a position of trust are indicators of verbal or emotional abuse\nfrequent arguments between the caregiver and elderly person\n\nIf you suspect an individual is the victim of abuse or a scam\, talk to the individual or a local agency. Contact your local CRN for additional information.

SUMMARY:National Seniors Day
DESCRIPTION:October 1 is National Seniors Day\, an occasion for all Canadians to appreciate and celebrate older adults.  The intent of National Seniors Day is to showcase the contribution seniors make to the Canadian economy and that their contribution is valuable and ongoing. Seniors helped build our communities and our country. \nBC Community Response Network’s intent in connecting to this event is to bring awareness to abuse\, neglect and self-neglect of our vulnerable seniors. \nCanadian seniors make up more than 15.6 percent of the population.  By 2030\, seniors will reach 9.5 million and make up 23% of Canadians. \nSadly\, many older adults are vulnerable to multiple forms of abuse and need everyone to be supportive.  It is easy to show your respect and gratitude for the older adults in your life. There are many options to thank the seniors in your life for all their hard work and show them just how much they’re appreciated. \nHere are just a few: \n\nSay “thank you”\nTake a walk together\nCook a meal together\nTreat them to a day out\nSend a card to a senior you care about\nSmile and just say “hi”\nPost a message on the Seniors in Canada Facebook page\n\nShow you care.  Your local CRN can provide information and support to seniors.

SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:Please see attached statement from BC CRN in commemoration of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th. \nMurray Rankin\, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation\, and Selina Robinson\, Minister of Finance\, have released the following statement on marking the federal Truth and Reconciliation Day: \n“Over the last two months Canadians have been coming to terms with what survivors of residential schools have always known. Indigenous peoples are bringing to light the true history of this country and the atrocities of the residential school system. \n“We share the grief\, the pain and the outrage and understand that we have a painful but necessary road ahead of us to walk together\, to right wrongs and to support Indigenous communities who are carrying this ongoing burden with strength\, resilience and leadership. The need has never been greater to listen and to learn about B.C.’s colonial history and to seek truth\, justice and reconciliation. As government\, we have an important role in this process\, and we know that non-Indigenous British Columbians throughout the province want to play an active part in this critical work. \n“In June\, the federal government announced Sept. 30 as a new annual statutory day to commemorate the history and ongoing trauma caused by residential schools and to honour those who were lost and the survivors\, families and communities who continue to grieve. \n“In recent years\, Sept. 30 has been known as Orange Shirt Day\, so called because of the residential school experiences of the campaign’s founder\, Phyllis Webstad. It is a day when we honour the children who suffered in the residential school system\, and many residential school survivors and supporters have advocated for this to become a national day of commemoration\, to respond to one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. \n“Over the coming months\, the Province will work with Indigenous leaders\, organizations and communities on the best and most respectful ways to mark Truth and Reconciliation Day here in B.C.\, followed by engagement with business and labour stakeholders for their perspectives on how the national day is commemorated in future years. \n“The national holiday will be observed this Sept. 30 by federal employees and workers in federally regulated workplaces. We have advised provincial public-sector employers to honour this day and in recognition of the obligations in the vast majority of collective agreements. Many public services will remain open but may be operating at reduced levels. However\, most schools\, post-secondary institutions\, some health sector workplaces\, and Crown corporations will be closed. \n“Our government is calling on all of us who deliver services to the public to use this opportunity to consider what each of us can do as individuals to advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and to recommit to understanding the truth of our shared history\, to accept and learn from it and in doing so\, help to create a better\, more inclusive British Columbia.” \n  \nRetrieved from: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2021FIN0048-001531

SUMMARY:National Day of Awareness and Action for missing and murdered Indigenous women\, girls\, and gender diverse kin
DESCRIPTION:Today is May 5\, National Day of Awareness and Action for missing and murdered Indigenous women\, girls and gender diverse kin\, also known as #RedDressDay. \nToday we remember all of the lives and spirits of those who have been taken too soon\, we lend our thoughts and prayers for the victims of colonialism\, patriarchy and all of the oppressive forces\, institutions and policies that have and continue to inflict a genocide on Indigenous peoples. Women\, girls\, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people have been most impacted and today\, rather than reducing  each sacred life that has gone missing or been murdered to a statistic\, we do what we need to do to remember\, to name the perpetrators of this ongoing gender-based violence\, to honour their lives\, to take care of ourselves\, to march in solidarity\, to organize\, to be with loved ones\, to keep striving for justice\, equity and peace. We remember the families left searching for answers\, closure and justice. We remember the strength of our ancestors\, our families\, and we uplift the young ones inheriting this ever-evolving world.

The messages often touch on our most raw of emotions: you’ve won a fantastic prize (surprise)\, or your financial institution is seeking your personal information (worry)\, or a government agency is looking to take legal action against you (fear). This first presentation looks at the top fraud schemes BC seniors seem to fall prey to most frequently. \nIn part two\, Mr. Salji presents Counterfeit Money: How to Know if You’ve Received a Fake Bank Note \nThe RCMP and the Bank of Canada work closely together to inform the public on bank note security features\, encourage bank note verification at points of sale\, and urge retailers and their staff to implement the regular practice of note checking. As the sole issuer of genuine currency in Canada\, the Bank of Canada is responsible for issuing quality bank notes that are readily accepted and secure against counterfeiting. \nIn this presentation\, participants will learn more about banknote security features\, the latest trends and stats\, and what to do if you receive a counterfeit note. You will also learn a little about US currency and how the Bank of Canada works with the US Secret Service. \nCorporal N. is a member of the RCMP’s Federal Policing Prevention and Engagement unit in British Columbia. He is working to realize the unit’s objectives by engaging partners and bringing awareness on financial crime to communities across the Province. \nFarid Salji has worked in the banking industry for 13 years. Currently\, he ensures the delivery of the Bank of Canada’s currency education program\, which includes an outreach program that aims to increase public awareness of anti-counterfeiting features of Canadian bank notes\, and monitors developments relating to currency and its security in the BC and Yukon region. In cooperation with private sector partners\, he is also responsible for overseeing and monitoring the bank note distribution system. \nProvincial Learning Events are free webinars that take place on the third Tuesday of the month from 10:30 am to 12 pm.
