Dying with Dignity Canada educates Canadians about all of their legal end-of-life options, including the constitutional right to medical assistance in dying (MAID), and the importance of advance care planning. Visit their website for more information, including for education or support for both individuals and families, and healthcare practitioners who assess for and provide MAID.

The Retirement Income Group can help demystify the role of an executor/estate trustee, naming powers of attorney, probate and transferring assets to the people and causes you care about. They take an in-depth look at your financial picture and discuss your short and long-term financial goals.
