This is the time of year when many of us travel. If you are travelling, travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and interruptions is highly recommended, especially for seniors. A medical emergency in a foreign country and a hospital stay can easily cost $100,000 or more. If you get sick and can’t travel home from your destination, trip interruption insurance will cover your costs while you recover. If you become ill before you travel, trip cancellation insurance will reimburse travel costs. Travel insurance buys peace of mind. We wish you happy and safe travels.

Annual limits, frequency limits, change of coverage at retirement, job change, submission time limits, undisclosed limits. My, my, my … What insurance carriers don’t tell you. If you have recently had a change in lifestyle, call your insurance provider to find out how your coverage is affected. You may be paying for coverage that is not worth it. A recent client paid monthly for retirement dental benefits to find out that his coverage did not include dentures. He was able to resign from his plan and get better coverage from the CDCP/Sunlife Plan at no cost. Contact us for your denture needs.

SOS helps ease isolation and build community by connecting people of all ages to programs that support their well-being. One crucial way we have provided access to our programs is through the use of the SOS bus. Unfortunately, our bus has reached the end of the road. The SOS Connecting Community Campaign aims to raise $200,000 to help purchase a new bus. The bus facilitates essential programs, including transportation for seniors to grocery shopping, children to our afterschool programs, and exciting outings for families and youth. If you would like to contribute to this campaign, please visit our website or give us a call. Thank you.
