Watch for me on Global TV in Calgary

Having been interviewed on Global TV in Edmonton (twice) and Vancouver, I suppose it was just a matter of time before I was invited to Global TV in Calgary. I am very pleased to say that Ièll be appearing on Global Calgary on Friday, November 13. Good thing Ièm not superstitious! Keep an eye out for me early that morning, talking about estate planning and incapacity planning.

Wills Week and Global TV

Hi everyone,

Just in case you missed it, I was interviewed on Global TV Edmonton on why you need a will.

October 5 to 10th is Wills Week, brought to you by the Edmonton Community Foundation and I will be giving my annual seminar on Wills in Whitemud on October 8th ... for more information, visit their website.

Watch for me on Global TV on October 7

I'll be interviewed by Lynda Steele of Global TV Edmonton on Wednesday, October 7 for their program "The Early News with Lynda Steele", which airs at 5:00. The topic will be Wills in general, why people need them and what should be in them. It happens to coincide with Wills Week, which is sponsored by Edmonton Community Foundation.

I was interviewed once before by Lynda not long ago and I found her to be a fantastic interviewer. She had prepared in advance by reading the material, and did a run-through of some of the trickier questions before we went on the air. That made us both look good! In the last year or so I've done eight media interviews and am really, really excited to be interviewed by Lynda again.

Let me know what you think of the interview.

My visit to British Columbia

I just arrived home from BC yesterday, after a week spent in Vancouver and Victoria. It was a busy week but I made plenty of time for visiting with family and close friends.

The interview with Global News on August 30 went well. It was a Sunday morning newsmagazine show hosted by Sophie Liu. Sophie gave away three copies of my book to callers. I also got to meet my publicist in person for the first time. Until this visit, we had only done business on the phone and on email. Lovely to meet you Sarah!

I also met some of my fellow Scotiabankers in person for the first time and went to an extremely well-attended, lively open house held by Scotia McLeod advisors in Sidney, BC. I really enjoy that kind of event because it's a chance for me to meet and chat with individual customers who are directly affected by the kind of law I practice and the topics I write about in my books and in this blog. If you ever get a chance to attend one of these open house events, I strongly recommend that you go.

Since I am moving into a new home shortly, I participated in one of my favourite activities - shopping! It was great fun looking through stores for beautiful and useful things for my new place. Both Victoria and Vancouver have wonderful home decorating shops. Now the problem is getting all my new treasures back to Edmonton!

Watch for me on Global TV Vancouver

Keep an eye out for me on Global TV Vancouver on Sunday morning, August 30. I'll be talking about seniors, capacity and estate planning. Let me know what you think of the show.

Global TV Edmonton - The early news with Lynda Steele!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the questions, I'll try my best to answer them shortly! I've been super busy doing all these media interviews but it's definitely well worth my time if I can help others help themselves with regards to elder law.

My interview on Global TV with Lynda Steele was an amazing experience and I'm a huge fan of hers!

Here's a link to the clip, just in case you missed it on the early news.
