Ethical and Legal Issues with Vulnerable Donors

Stephanie Sieber, LL.B., Sitka Law

Have you heard of MAID? Recently the Supreme Court of Canada looked at the ‘right to die’ cases that raise fascinating new questions and issues regarding the meaning of informed consent and capacity of vulnerable persons. 

This presentation will address how the concepts of ‘informed consent’ and ‘capacity’ of vulnerable persons, in the planned giving context, are shaped by changing social perspectives and legal rules in Canada.  Attendees will learn options to consider for how to try to protect themselves and their organizations while still maintaining and growing donor relationships. 

Presentation series events are held at the Union Club of BC, 805 Gordon Street, Victoria (unless otherwise noted) Pricing (all applicable taxes included) Unless otherwise noted, the cost for each session is: Members $30 │ Non-Members $45 Each Victoria based session held over the lunch hour includes a buffet lunch
