"Elder investors - vulnerable investors- persons with fluctuating or diminished mental capacity and adults are subject to undue influence or financial exploitation.
Financial Advisors and the investment industry are key players in the detecting and reporting of elder financial abuse, and other forms of undue influence or abuse. But as the law stands, these financial planners and investment advisors cannot reach out about their concerns without breaching privacy law.
This webinar will raise awareness of these concerns, and provide recommendations the investment industry can take to create positive steps to address these issues.The speakers will highlight their recommendations on training, standardized conduct protocols, reporting, privacy, liability protection, and awareness raising.
Join this dynamic and interactive webinar, as part of Vulnerable Investor and Safe Harbour Project between FAIR Canada and the Canadian Centre for Elder Law."

Learn what the legal systems are now, and have your say about how they should be in future! This consultation encourages members of the elder abuse awareness community, older adults, persons with lived experience as well as professionals to tell us your experiences, your concerns and your recommendations.

Raising the Profile Project has been designed to identify the impact and challenges of community-based seniors services and make recommendations about innovative ways to ensure long-term capacity of the sector to meet the rising and increasingly complex needs of seniors in BC now and in the future.
Consultation is taking place throughout the province to gain local input and share findings leading into a provincial summit in the fall of 2017.
Guest Speaker, Marcy Cohen, has been involved in social justice issues in both a professional and volunteer capacity. She has worked on issues related to home and community care restructuring, health system innovation, gender equality, and on policies to improve access to government services for disadvantages populations. She has become increasingly interested in health prevention and promotion strategies that support seniors' health and independence.
BC CRN Provincial Learning Events take place the 3rd Tuesday of every month except July, August and December and everyone is welcome.
