SUMMARY:ACTIVE AGING SERIES: Financial Planning For Single Women Part 3 – Building Your Retirement Income & Making Your Home Work for You
DESCRIPTION:This series is designed to support single women over 50 who want clarity, confidence, and practical guidance as they plan for the next stage of life. Each session tackles a different part of financial wellbeing, from retirement income and debt stress to home equity options and government benefits, with presenters who understand the realities women face as they age. \nWomen in their 50s, 60s, and beyond often navigate financial decisions alone. Many have experienced career interruptions, caregiving responsibilities, rising living costs, or unexpected life changes. \nThis series brings together trusted experts who explain options in plain language, reduce confusion, and help participants make informed choices that support independence, stability, and long‑term comfort. Across the three sessions, participants will learn how to strengthen their financial literacy, reduce stress, plan for longevity, and build a future that reflects their values and goals.\n \nPart 3 – Building Your Retirement Income & Making Your Home Work for You\nSchedule | Wednesday, November 25\n6:00 – 7:00 p.m. | Understanding Your Retirement Benefits: Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS)\nPresented by Hakima Abdessemed, Service Canada, Government of Canada\n\n Understanding your retirement benefits starts with knowing how Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) work together to support you in later life. They form the foundation of most Canadians’ retirement income. \nHakima will provide attendees with a better understanding of the public pension and how it can help with their retirement planning.\n\n7:00- 8:00 p.m. | Home Equity & Mortgages After 50: Understanding Your Options Presented by Elena Russell, Fast Track Mortgages\nPresented by Elena Russell, Fast Track Mortgages\nYour home is one of your biggest financial assets, and the choices you make after 50 can shape your retirement income and lifestyle. This session offers a practical look at renewing or refinancing a mortgage later in life, what lenders consider when you’re retired or nearing retirement, and the differences between fixed and variable rates.\nWe’ll also cover options for single women and ways to use home equity without relying solely on reverse mortgages. You’ll explore whether staying, renovating, downsizing, or moving makes sense for your situation, how housing costs affect retirement income, and how tools like refinancing, home‑equity lines of credit, and traditional mortgages fit into a retirement plan.\n\n8:00 – 8:15 p.m. | Wrap-up & Meet the Presenters at their tables\n\nCost: $3.00  (includes beverages)\nLocation: Community Cafe, WE Seniors Edmonton (9629 – 176 St NW, Edmonton)\n\nREGISTER NOW! \n\n\nCall our Front Desk at 780 483 1209\n\n\nSend an email to ch****@*******rs.ca  \n\n\nSign up at MyActiveCentre\n\n\n
