If something happened tomorrow, would your family know your wishes? Would they know where to find your important documents, who to contact, or what decisions you would want made?

These are conversations many of us put off—but taking a little time today can make a world of difference for the people we love.

Join me for a complimentary Personal Planning Guide Workshop, where we'll work through our easy-to-use Personal Planning Guide together.

This interactive session is designed to help you organize important information, document your wishes, and create a valuable resource for your loved ones.

✨ Record your personal wishes and preferences
✨ Organize important documents and contacts
✨ Reduce stress and uncertainty for your family
✨ Receive a complimentary Personal Planning Guide and enjoy snacks + refreshments

📅 Monday, June 22, 2026
🕐 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
📍 Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral Home – Hart Chapel
1099 Gordon Street, Guelph

Planning ahead isn't about dwelling on the future—it's about providing clarity, comfort, and peace of mind for yourself and those you care about most.
