The North Shore Primary Care Network is holding the first Fine Art of Aging public conference on Friday, March 7th, 2025, 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., at the Delbrook Community Recreation Centre! All North Shore residents are invited to attend this FREE half-day event dedicated to providing valuable information on aging for seniors, their families, and caregivers.

Simultaneous sessions will be held on legal and estate planning and will cover such things as Representation Agreements, Power of Attorney, wills and estate planning. Among the many guest experts presenting, is keynote speaker, Dan Levitt, the Seniors' Advocate for the province of BC.
