EVENTS
Dec 2: Good Grief – Lessons in Healing & Sharing
“Good grief!” is more commonly associated with a beloved Peanuts character than with a seminar on healing. But Charlie Brown’s disgruntled cry is often what people in grief experience: pain without reprieve. On December 2, Chaplain Marlette Reed and Dr. Annette Lane will join us for a seminar to focus on journeying through your own grief or caring for others in theirs.
Chaplain Marlette Reed has provided pastoral care to individuals for many years. Currently she works as a community and a hospice chaplain; she also works with her identical twin sister, Dr. Annette Lane, on Dr. Lane’s research team.
Dr. Annette Lane is a professor at Athabasca University. She is an expert in gerontological nursing who has published widely on the issue of older adults.
Dec 16: Fraud Prevention Seminar
Becoming a victim of financial fraud can be devastating. And it’s easier than many people think for scam artists to con you out of your hard-earned money. But there’s good news: even the most sophisticated, well-orchestrated schemes usually present red flags – you just need to know what to look for. Join us to learn about fraud prevention in both day to day life and when it comes to your investments. Protect yourself and your money.
Co-presented by Alberta Securities Commission.
