Everyone is welcome to meet with us on Wednesday, Sep 23, 2:00 - 3:30 pm in the Pioneer Room of the Mansons Hall.
Our meeting topic this Wednesday is Preparing and Executing a Will. Sally Houghton, Quadra’s Notary Public, will talk about wills—the importance of having one in place and what happens after a death. She’ll cover topics including how to choose an executor, death certificates, probate, and who is responsible for your body after death. There will be time for questions and discussion.
The DeathCare Collective supports our community in preparing for end-of-life through conversation and education. We help loved ones care for their own dying and deceased—offering guidance, empowerment, and assistance from diagnosis through death and after death—making home-based, holistic care more accessible.?
Our meetings are structured with a time for optional sharing, an educational presentation, comments and reflections, and an update about projects in our community. Visit our website, islanddeathcare.ca.
The Cortes Island Community Foundation has enabled the DeathCare Collective to invite Sally to Cortes by paying her travel costs. Thank you CICF.
