Provincial Learning Event: What is Personal Planning for Older Adults?
February 20 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
You are invited to join BC CRN’s February online Provincial Learning Event: What is Personal Planning for Older Adults?
This webinar will feature an online launch of two videos with personal stories from people across BC, highlighting the usefulness of personal planning – planning for incapacity, end-of-life and other support needs. What is personal planning? How is it different from estate planning? What if I have a Will and an Enduring Power of Attorney – am I covered? What if I can’t make any of these documents? What will happen to me in an emergency if I can’t speak for myself? Learn the answers to these questions and more. There will be a period for Q&A. All are welcome to attend.

Speaker:
Audrey Jun
Lawyer and Executive Director at Nidus Personal Planning Resource Centre
Nidus Personal Planning Resource Centre is a non-profit charitable organization that was founded by groups involved in the community-based reform of B.C.’s adult guardianship legislation, and most notably, development of the BC Representation Agreement Act (“RA Act”). The RA Act is world-renowned and recognized as innovative and significant, especially to the senior and disability communities. Nidus is the only community-based resource in Canada devoted to personal planning – planning for incapacity, end-of-life and other support needs. Its existence sets British Columbia apart as a leader in addressing the critical needs of an aging population. The Resource Centre also operates a centralized Registry, called the Nidus Registry for personal planning documents and other important information and documents in case of a health crisis or other emergency.
