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.

https://www.projectconfederation.ca/alberta_pension_plan_q_a_1
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!

Some of these things I still miss

I grew up without safe spaces.
I grew up without trigger warnings.
I drank water from the hose.
I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.

We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.

There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
