The day I talked with Dying With Dignity was one of the happiest days of my recent life. I now know that when the time comes and my life is no longer bearable to me, I have the resources and the support to die with dignity.

Please join the Salt Spring Island Chapter of Dying With Dignity for a meeting about Advance Care Planning.
Our chapter will be joined by Dawn Dompierre, RN with the Vancouver Island Health Authority, who will speak to us about the importance of Advance Care Planning.
This meeting is open to the public. Attendees can expect to leave this event with a good understanding of the significance and nuances of advance care planning, as well as a rough draft of their own directive.
Please join us!
This full, one-day session is facilitated by DWD’s Executive Director, Wanda Morris. It is open to Dying With Dignity members who are interested in spreading the word. The session covers advance care planning, patient rights and the reasons why medically-assisted dying should be legalized in Canada. Preparing and delivering a 5 minute personal story on why this issue is important to you is an integral part of the session.
Do you have wishes that you want followed? Would you like control over your care? Do you have a personal advance care directive?
Wait no longer! Come to our workshop on Advance Care Planning!
This is a hands-on workshop where you will create an advance care directive that makes your wishes clear to everyone. This workshop will help you to consider your personal values and medical priorities, to name and speak to your substitute decision maker, and to complete and register your personal directive. We will be joined by a number of speakers.

This full, one-day session is facilitated by DWD’s Board President, Meg Westley. It is open to Dying With Dignity members who are interested in spreading the word. The session covers advance care planning, patient rights and the reasons why medically-assisted dying should be legalized in Canada.
Are you passionate about end of life options?
Three separate challenges to our existing laws against assisted dying are now before the courts. While cases are decided by court justices, they are influenced by the court of public opinion. Can you spread the message?
