Professional Development Day Lunch
Thursday September 19, 2019
12 noon - 12:30 p.m. - Registration, Networking & Lunch
12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. - Presentation
Legacy giving is not a popular conversation within the Chinese Canadian culture because wealth is often transferred to families and not to the community. By delivering a comprehensive estate planning seminar in Cantonese over the past four years, The Princess Margaret provided an educational resource for this community to help start the conversation about the importance of this type of planning as well as sharing the impact these gifts make in the area of philanthropy.
