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.

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.

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
