For our CARP Halton Chapter community meetings in October, we will have a presentation focused on providing strategies to help reduce financial stress in retirement. Our presentation will also cover various estate issues.
As usual we will be holding two community meetings, one in Halton North on October 10th and one in Halton South on October 26th. Our Halton North meeting will be held at the Revera Birkdale Retirement Living Residence at 611 Farmstead (Derry and Farmstead) in Milton. Our Halton South meeting will be held at the Seniors Centre at 2285 New Street, Burlington.
Our presentation will give you a good understanding of how taxes work during retirement and for your estate. You will find answers to common questions that will provide confidence in your retirement journey and the comfort that you have things optimally set-up for your loved ones. The following is an outline of some of the topics that will be discussed:

Our speaker, Noreen Oldfield, Senior Consultant at IG Wealth Management, and her team have been providing tax and financial planning advice to the Halton community for over 20 years. Noreen will be assisted by her husband Kirk Oldfield who is an accountant and tax expert, who will be available to answer any specific questions. They are actively involved in supporting seniors in the community through CARP Halton, and charitable organizations such as Community food banks, Townsend Smith, Carpenter Hospice, Willow Foundation, etc.
If you have any specific questions that are not addressed during the session, there will be a Q&A period following the talk.
Please plan to join us at either location. CARP Halton Chapter believes that the information you will take away from this presentation will be very beneficial for all seniors. We look forward to seeing our members and friends at this important presentation.
