“In My Own Time” is a documentary film that looks at what it means to die on one’s own terms. Using first-hand accounts from people across Canada, this film will offer perspectives on medical assistance in dying (MAID) less commonly seen in media reports and present an opportunity to educate people on end-of-life choice in Canada.

Attendees are welcome to arrive anytime after 12:00 p.m. to mingle with Dying With Dignity Canada volunteers and supporters. The event will begin with a brief welcome message at 12:45, followed by the screening of the film at 1:00, and end with a panel discussion with Dr. Jyothi Jayaraman and Dr. Derryck Smith beginning at 2:00.

Cost: $5.00
