Upcoming Pension Town Halls

We had an incredible response to our first series of Alberta Pension Plan town halls - but we know some people still have questions.
So, we've decided to host a few virtual question and answer sessions to address any concerns that may have surfaced and have not been previously addressed.
After all, there was quite a bit of information to digest!
We're hosting these (free) events online so that it's quick and easy for busy Albertans to attend, regardless of where they are in the province.
So, if you have questions or seek further clarification, we encourage you to register:
Wednesday, Feb 7th - 7:00 pm
Saturday, Feb 10th - 12:30 pm
Before joining the Q&A sessions, we kindly ask you to complete a brief homework assignment – watching our original presentation - Alberta Pension Plan 101 - here.

This will ensure that everyone is on the same page, we don't spend the full hour going through the basics, and can get straight into the insightful discussions.

Hope to see you at one (or both) of the events!

None of what is happening to Canada is an accident.

The Present Is the Evidence
To understand how Canada arrived at this moment, you first have to look honestly at what is happening right now.
Across Canadian media and social media, a coordinated narrative has been building around what is being called the problem of empty bedrooms. On the surface it sounds like a housing conversation. Look closer and it is something else entirely. The pressure being applied, particularly on elderly Canadians and grandparents who have lived in their homes for decades, is to downsize. To give up their multi-bedroom homes. To turn their large homes into apartment blocks. ...

Nenshi should step down, fined, be taken to court for dereliction of duty or be removed from current leadership role due to breach of authority while in a position of power, poor memory & proved blatant deceit causing destruction & financial burden unnecessarily …. The records prove it & clarify it! His two in command should not be absolved either for not going to council when Nenshi did not! Calgarians should not be left with the costing when it should have been unnecessary! It’s called Accountability…..
