Peachland Seniors Forum

Our riding, Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, has a unique demographic. We have a very high percentage of Seniors, and it is often this population that needs help as they age.

The Peachland Seniors Forum is designed to provide seniors and their adult children the information and resources needed as they, or their family, age.

Presentations at the forum will include a Keynote Address Martha Jane Lewis from Seniors First BC (formerly known as the BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support), local experts on dementia and seniors’ finances, and The Peachland Wellness Centre. Read about our presenters on the reverse side.

Come for a coffee, take some notes, and leave with important information that you should know!

29 April 2017
10:00am - 11:30am

The Canadian Fall Economic Update

As the Deputy Finance Critic, I have a few things to say about the Fall Economic Update that the Liberal government delivered to us yesterday.

This update is clear that in the absence of having any substantive plan for our economy, the Liberals are using the time-honoured practice of throwing money that Canadians do not have, at a problem that adding more
debt will not fix.
​
What do you think about the direction our economy is heading in? Comment on Facebook.
Our Constituency Offices will be closed the following days:

From December 23rd at 12:00pm to January 3rd at 9:00am

Please contact us here if you require assistance. 
Wishing you and your family the very best this Holiday Season!
