Thank you to all who joined us as we marked World Elder Abuse Awareness Day with speaker Mary Shkoury. Mary is employed by Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario. Her presentation highlighted many of the common aspects of elder abuse such as financial abuse within families. Her engaging speaking style, relevant information and ability to connect with the audience made for a very interesting and informative afternoon.
