On October 21st we held a discussion on Dementia Journey and Prevention by second year doctoral student Sadaf Murad-Kassam from the University of Alberta. The participants enjoyed brunch, some socialization and discussion on this important topic. 

CoMag was honoured to host a mental health workshop this past week in our Brunch Buddies series. The workshop aimed at dispelling myths and misconceptions around mental health and spirituality. Lubna Zaeem discussed how cultural norms and schemas play a roll in how we see the world around us and she lead a class exercise in engaging the heart with some deep breathing and shifting the attention away from your head to your heart area. To be quiet to listen, feel and sense. It was a very informative discussion and thank you all who attended the session.

On January 26th at CoMag’s New Years Gathering we had a presentation from Saad Pervez on Financial Literacy for Seniors. He covered topics such as estate planning and RRSP. It was a very informative session.
