February 23, 2018—The annual Know Your Health Plans Workshop took place at the Heron Centre. The workshop is designed to provide members of District 27 with a refresher about what our RTO/ERO plans cover, an update of recent changes to the plans and an opportunity to ask questions or get clarifications.

Despite the freezing rain we had a record number of members attend, many for the first time. Particular attention was given to prescription coverage limits, paramedical coverage, out of province travel insurance and electronic claims procedures.

Sessions in English and French were held simultaneously. Stephen Wong and Ashveena Govindaraju, Provincial RTO/ERO staff, made the presentations. They ensured time to speak individually with members where requested. Muriel Howden, Executive Assistant & Senior Outreach Advisor from the Provincial Office attended Ashveena’s French language presentation.

Watch for the announcement for the February 2019 workshop.

October 20, 2017 — Making a move to a Retirement Community is a big decision. Educating yourself on the various options and the differences is a large part of the journey. This can be time consuming, confusing and even stressful. A very informative presentation by Christine Forget from Solva Senior Living, was held on Friday October 20, 2017 at the Heron Community Centre about a unique free consulting services available from Solva Senior Living. Fifteen RTO\ERO members attended and thoroughly enjoyed the two hour workshop. It was so successful and appreciated that we intend to offer it again in 2018. Thanks to Ray Ball for organizing this event.
