Last Saturday's workshop on The Legal Documents was a huge success with over 50 participants and a gaggle of kids downstairs in care. Please find follow-up information about that below.

This Saturday, February 17th, also at the Linnaea Education Centre, Cortes Palliative Care nurse Bernice McGowen will be offering Part 2 in this series - Advance Care Planning. Bernice will focus on things to consider when making a representation agreement and deciding who your representative will be. She will also talk about Temporary Substitute Decision Makers ( TSDM) and Advance Directive, DNR and MOST documents. And, if there is interest, also about things to think about if you are someone’s representative.

10:30 - Presentation
Noon - Free Lunch
1:00 - Working Session
