Nidus Personal Planning Resource Centre and Registry

At Nidus, we love attending in-person events when we can. It's where we get to leave the screens behind and meet you in person! We love answering your questions, swapping stories, and getting to know the communities we serve.

What is a fair/expo? Simply put, it is a place for organizations and companies to gather and share what they do with the public! These events are a one-stop-shop to meet all the amazing folks doing amazing things in your community ✨

Last month, we visited the Vernon Seniors Fair and the North Shore Volunteer Fair. Thank you to NexusBC Community Resource Centre and North Shore Community Resources for inviting us! An additional shout out to the incredible photography team at North Shore Community Resources for the quality photos of Catarina, our Community Outreach Manager!

Here's where we're headed next (details on the last slide):

📍 Oct 14: Thrive After 55 – Seniors Health and Wellness Expo, Vancouver
📍 Oct 20: South Island Inclusion Resource Fair, Victoria

Can't make these dates? No problem! We have tons of in-person presentations throughout the month. Chances are, Catarina will be there too!

🗓️ TOMORROW: Join Nidus and AutismBC for a free online webinar on Personal Planning!

Planning for the future can feel overwhelming — but having the right information helps you make informed decisions for yourself and the people you care about. Learn how personal planning can benefit you and your loved ones as we answer common questions like:

✅ What is personal planning and how is it different from estate planning?
✅ If I have a Will and Enduring Power of Attorney, am I covered?
✅ What is a Representation Agreement, and why are there different types?
✅ What if I can't make any of these documents?
✅ What happens in an emergency if I can't speak for myself?
✅ What if I don't have family nearby?
✅ Why should I register my legal documents?

🕐 Sept. 25, 12–1:30 PM PT
