Canadian Association of Retired Persons Reviews 225

It is a topic most important to seniors ... however , it was too long , and too repetitive ...

Very informative and very competent experts however first hour was geared to an audience that possessed more than average knowledge in the domain.

Information was VERY informative! I learned a lot today.

I enjoyed all the speakers but I would have liked to have some of the chat questions answered. I am used to Zoom but I did not know where to click in order to access the chat message area in order to send a question. Maybe a repeat dealing just with viewers questions. After all, in the sign up you asked for questions.

I wasn't able to access the presentation. I have enjoyed your webinars before. My loss!!

After enrolling, I expected a link. I then enrolled again and got two links just before 1:00. I almost went on to do something else

Audio good. Speakers knowledgeable and coherent. MC had good grasp of questions. Reminders of many things I know. Highlighting a potential generation gap a good thing.

Hard for me to make worthwhile suggestions considering form and time available.

Perhaps, might be good to have a 10 minute break at half time to allow people to go to washroom if need be.

We were welcomed with a delicious lunch and the opportunity to socialize with fellow CARP members.
Anthony engaged enthusiastically with the panel with inciteful questions. The panel was a good mix of knowledge and was anxious to share.
And Darius was masterfully in control of the event making it look effortless !

Good session, but there was financial jargon used, which was not clear to me so possibly others, as well.

The most interesting part was the section that spoke to the concerns of seniors regarding financial security and the CARP "asks"...i.e. fiduciary accountability for banks, the intergenerational concerns regarding affordability and seniors' OAS government support and the taxpayers currently paying for it. Very interesting discussion. The beginning was a bit dry with the overview of the financial
industry and the "language" that goes with it...plain language would have been more useful, but not really easy for those professionals immersed in it every day.Anthony did a really good job navigating the topic.

I am following the podcasts for the plain bagel and Ben Felix
Thank you

I found the topics informative and now have a few extra tools at my fingertips.
I have information I can use at my yearly investment review.
Did not realize there is a disconnect between the older generation and the younger re OAS …

Many good points made and clarification of roles of advisers seem to be blurry for most of the population so lots of work there to do.

Although retired, I do have a background in financial service. The comments about the banks and other F.I.'s being more interested in selling than the client's financial goals resonated with me. So true.
Although I had to cut out after 1 hour, I had hoped there would have been more content today than just financial as there are many other concerns today for seniors. Overall, I found it interesting.

I became aware of two different Canadian Investment websites as resources for myself and my young family members relevant to obtaining Investment guidelines.

Box breakfast was cold. Coffee too strong. Plastic water bottles bad for the environment.

A lot of the panel repetitive. Questions from audience not taken?

Small group discussion would be useful; we’re we just an audience for the cameras.

Lunch Boxes very difficult to open.
For such a long session with no break better seats should have been provided.
The panel were very knowledgeable.
Learnt a lot.

Interactive session between active dynamic speakers. Informative and entertaining

Good overview, including the role/limitations for regulators. Next look at how to structure a plan for various stages of life/government safety nets

Very good. It's good to have professional and objective data.
