PENSION WORKSHOPTuesday, April 23rd, 2019 St. Helen’s Gym |
WILL I BE ABLE TO RETIRE COMFORTABLY? The Archdicoese of Vancouver will be holding a workshop on Tuesday, April 23, 2019 at St. Helen Elementary School to help you answer this very question. The session will be in two parts: (a) What do I need to think about to prepare for retirement and (b) how much money will I have to live on? Kim Pilley, Great West Life, will explain to participants how to figure out how much money retirees will need to retire comfortably, and where to get it from. Kim’s session will use Chromebooks to help members access their web accounts and to learn how to use all the tools Great West Life offers to make sense of the money siuation. Doug Lauson wil talk about the social and emotional preparation needed to live the next 25 post-retirement years without going crazy. Employees who are within 10 years of retiring should plan to attend this session as both Kim and Doug will inform participants of “must do” items before that magical date. |

“For those of you who came to our booth (#209) at the Catholic Educators’ Conference in February, thanks for the great conversation!
We’ve been having some trouble with our email system (which is now fixed, thankfully!) but for those of you who signed up for more information we have lost your email contacts, so we are following up with you with help from CISVA and the conference organizers. Click here for more information about our work and how we can support science teachers in making the switch to non-animal teaching methods. Click here to use our online system to book a guest class or information session. If you have any questions, you can reach me at: elisabeth@animalsinscience.org Thanks, and my apologies for the lack of correspondence immediately after the conference.” Elisabeth Ormandy, PhD |
