At our November 1st meeting, we'll welcome back Becki Pauls from Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN). She will address three main areas:

1. Components of a Good Life: What are the things to consider as we work alongside our kids and their supporters to help them build a "good life". Whether we have been thinking and working towards this for years, or are new to this conversation, there will be something helpful for all of us. Consider this the nuts and bolts of future planning.

2. The Canada Disability Benefit has just gone through its second reading in parliament. Becki, will give us an update on the next steps and any new information she has on the CDB.

3. Lastly, we have asked Becki to address ways in which we here in Southwestern Ontario can stay connected with PLAN, its work and existing advocacy networks to ensure that we are aware and that we use our voices effectively.

This event will be on Zoom. Please RSVP to Mary at maryjpike@hotmail.com if you would like to join us.
