About the Program
Imagine being unable to make your own healthcare decisions—who would speak for you? Join us to learn how healthcare decision‑making works in Ontario and how Advance Care Planning can help you and your loved ones feel prepared.
We’ll explore how Ontario law outlines Substitute Decision Making, what to consider when choosing your Substitute Decision Maker (SDM), and why these conversations matter. This session offers practical information to help you understand your options and start meaningful planning together.
Advance Care Planning: a gift you give each other.
Presented in partnership with Hospice Waterloo Region.
