An excerpt from this article... "In Canada, some advisors already specialize in financial planning for older Canadians, certified through an Elder Planning Counselor (EPC) designation offered by the Canadian Initiative for Elder Planning Studies. Globe Advisor spoke to certified financial advisors with an EPC designation to discuss what key areas of financial planning are different for Canadians aged 80 and up." This article should provide you with all the reasons why earning the EPC Designation will help you as you interact with our aging society, and more. The EPC designation program is endorsed by financial firms, and many delivery partners as well.

Thought I would quickly share a short story regarding the use of EPC knowledge. Short version I asked about this older lady at a small restaurant I go to on occasion for lunch. She would help tidy up and then be served a meal…literally working for her lunch. I was told her spouse was in a nursing home and their modest govt pension for him was redirected there to pay for his room. She was trying to live on $580 a month, others in the restaurant had been helping to pay her bills. When I got home to my den, I sat there thinking something was not right and then I remembered a class on government benefits and specifically GIS which I did not think she had applied for. Long story short we got her hooked up with an advocate through a group called life spin and she is now receiving an extra $950 a month or so plus they back dated so she got an extra $2000 she feels like a queen now. We are also getting her some subsidized housing. None of that would have happened if I had not remembered that class held by EPC. Best regards,
Patrick Kinsella EPC __________________________________________________
