For this session we will partner with a local Real Estate Expert. Investing in real estate is an exciting proposition for many people who value their own homeownership. Most people associate the word real estate with their own home or possibly with a vacation property. But a residential real estate rental property can be a viable investment opportunity for many people – and you don't need to be a million-dollar real estate mogul to get started. Presenters: Advisors from RBC and their community partners Cancellation Policy

It can be difficult, or near impossible, to forgive someone who has hurt or wronged us. Holding on to these resentments can have negative effects on our health, our well-being, and our ability to experience joy and happiness. This session will explore what it means to forgive, how to move from a place of anger to a place of peace, and how this process can free us from our past hurts. Facilitator: Homewood Health
