Elder planning counselors hosting free

Freedom 55 Financial and the Leamington Chamber of Commerce has teamed with groups of Elder Planning Counselors, (EPC), to offer an education forum on September 10, 2011, aimed at the aging population.

According to Canadian Initiative for Elder Planning Studies, in Beamsville Ontario, more than 650 Canadians turn 65 every day in Canada. Over the course of the next 25 years, the age structure of the world's population will continue to shift, with older age groups making up an increasingly larger share of the total. Between now and 2025, the number of people in the world who are 65 or older, will more than double. Over the same period, the world's youth (those under age 15) will grow by a mere six percent.

And yet, we remain largely unprepared for the "silver tsunami" that is about to take place. Many people today are not familiar with Elder Planning Counselors (EPC).

Topics will include, financial security planning, prescriptions medications, the legalities of wills and estates, housing, and pre-planning options for funerals, to name a few.

The forum will take place in Leamington, Ontario at the Kinsmen Recreational Complex from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. A complimentary lunch will be served.
