Direct Energy Centre - Heritage Court

Wednesday, May 14, 2014

www.caregivershow.ca

 

Did you know...almost 3 million Canadians are caregivers?

 

These wonderful people provide about 80% of the care needs for people with chronic health issues.

 

Downsizing Diva has teamed up with Metroland Media, St. Elizabeth Health Care, CCAC and Alzheimer Toronto to help caregivers find the best resources and community contacts to help them in their caregiving journey.

 

On Wednesday, May 14th, Heritage Court will be a hub of activity as we bring together experts in the field, including TEEPA SNOW, a dementia education specialist, to educate and help the dedicated caregivers who attend this show.

 

The event will feature Presentations - every hour on the half hour, Exhibits of a variety of resources available to caregivers, a "Rest + Relaxation" area and a place to enjoy a cup of coffee and a chat.

 

Admission is FREE!

 

For more information and to sign up online, go to www.caregivershow.ca

 

 

Who cares for the caregivers?

Downsizing Diva cares!

DIVA in San Diego...

Last month, the Divas had a fabulous time at the Annual National Association of Senior Move Manager's Conference in San Diego. For four days, purple feathers were flyin' as Gail, Karen, Judi, Gerine, (DD-Toronto Southwest), Shirley (DD-Markham) and Cathy (DD-Victoria, BC) met, mingled, laughed and learned!

 

 

This year, Gail and I were thrilled to be inducted into the "Circle of Service" as Members "in good standing who have shown consistent dedication and support of the Senior Move Management Profession."

 

 

The Divas are now making plans to attend next year's Conference in San Antonio, Texas. YIPPEE!!

 

Diva Thought for March:

Have you ever seen a sign that just makes you laugh right out loud? This one did it for us!

 

Some days you are the pigeon.

Some days you are the statue!
