Our workshops are designed for individuals and couples who are within seven years of retirement and are ready to review their options and plan for their future. It provides couples with an excellent opportunity to share their ideas and expectations for retirement.

Planning for retirement encompasses giving thought to lifestyle expectations and choices. It also involves setting realistic goals and constructing a plan to achieve retirement dreams. Topics covered during the workshop include:

• attitudes towards retirement
• health and well-being
• lifestyle planning and leisure activities
• relationships in retirement
• personal fulfillment
• financial management
• wills/estate planning.

Because our workshops are interactive and we encourage active participation and questions, many other topics may arise that are of interest to participants. Most topics are supplemented with a checklist activity that is either completed at the workshop or in the participant's own time.

Our workshop leaders bring decades of professional experience in adult education and are experts in the field. They are committed to empowering others to positively and proactively manage their life changes. In our workshops, the program leaders will cover the major topics and provide focus and continuity throughout the two days. Adding breadth to the program, we invite guest speakers to address the issues of financial planning, pension plan(s) and legal affairs; these speakers are generally drawn from the local community.
