Ritchie Zelk and Edna Mumford: Ethiopia - Bone Breakers, Beeding Hearts and More. Presentation: A pictoral journey through central Ethiopia. We will see wonderful landscapes, real life and colourful birds and endemic animmals. Bio: Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario I have always been a traveller. I spent my working career in the coffee industry (34yrs.) as an independent distributor. My love of travel and now photography has opened a new chapter in my life. I have lived in Guelph since 2003 and am thoroughly in love with the City. My wife Edna is also a great traveller and we both are avid Ballroom Dancers and Hikers. I have been on various committees and boards and currently the Communications Director for the RCMC. 9:30 Refreshments

Laura Sullivan: Seniors at Risk Presentation: Laura's presentation will focus on the type of risks she encounters, how risk is analyzed as well as possible responses. She will also speak to the importance of having Power of Attorney documents as a means to reduce vulnerability. Bio: Laura has been working with the Canadian Mental Health Association since 2001 after graduating with a MSc. in Family Relations and Human Development from the University of Guelph. She has worked with the Here 24/7 team responding to crisis calls in the community, but she has worked primarily with the Specialized Geriatric Services Team where she has had the role of Seniors at Risk Clinical Consultant for several years. In her role, Laura responds to various calls from police, hospitals, community service providers and concerned citizens who call to express concern about a vulnerable senior. She works as an advocate for the older adult to provide education to their support team and to help balance risk with the wishes of the individual. She collaborates with community partners to help formulate a response to issues of abuse and neglect. |
