A Monday Mashup January 10, 2011, 12:10 PM
Welcome to Monday. I hope you’re off to a good start. I thought we'd start the week with a mashup of sorts. Tax time will soon be upon us and in preparation for this annual ritual you may want to attend an event being held in London tomorrow night: Tax Benefits for Older Adults & Caregivers. A representative from Revenue Canada will be giving a presentation at the event which is being organized by Alzheimer Outreach Services of McCormick Home. Here are all of the details. If you’re unable to attend, but would like more information about tax benefits, Service Canada may be of assistance. For more caregiving events throughout the South West, please check our events section. A couple of interesting pieces in today’s caregiving in the news for those of you interesting in improving your overall health: the role that aspirin plays in preventing cancer and the benefits of the Mediterranean diet. And CBC Radio's The Current has put together a special on mental health featuring some high profile individuals who share their own experiences with mental illness. Kudos to those who want others to know they're not alone! The show is part of a national project that the CBC has launched called Live Right Now - an initiative to get Canadians into a better state of health.
