At the April PACE talk, Beth will share her recent personal experiences with navigating the death of a loved one and its many intricacies, while Scott provides a professional and logistical insight into the death care industry.
As is standard within the PACE Talk format, questions from the audience will also be addressed. These questions may be pre-submitted by emailing mbhargava@imcare.ca prior to April 26, 2023, or time permitting, posed live during the event itself.
Since 2018, the Northumberland PACE partners have been hosting free public education sessions on a broad range of health and wellness topics and have consistently drawn large groups of community members with a variety of questions and perspectives. Like many other events, the Northumberland PACE speakers series adapted to a virtual format as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participating partners continue to increase, with the Ontario Health Team of Northumberland joining the founding partners at the planning table for the current season.
Lasting an hour in length, each PACE talk consists of a 30-minute talk, a 20-minute question-and-answer period with the guest speaker(s) and a short moderator summary.
Bring your questions, your suggestions, and your experience and join in what is expected to be another informative discussion on a topic chosen by previous PACE attendees!
Pre-registration is required and space is limited to the first 300 registered attendees. This event is hosted through Zoom, and attendees are asked to login to the event 5 minutes prior to the start.
