Understanding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in BC

Presented by Connie Jorsvik, BSN, of PatientPathways.ca, join us for a clear, plain-language look at MAiD in Canada, including the eligibility rules, the approval process, and how to have conversations about your future before a major health change.

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is a personal topic that is often misunderstood, but it is an important part of knowing all your end-of-life choices. This workshop provides a clear and simple explanation of the rules, who is eligible, and how the approval process works in BC. By understanding the legal steps involved, you and your family can have calm, informed conversations about your future before a change in health occurs.

This session takes the mystery out of the process, giving you the facts you need to ensure your personal values are respected, and that your medical decisions remain in your hands.

At the end of our chat, we will open the floor for your questions.

Can’t make it? Not to worry, the recording will be emailed to all registrants.

Please share this important event widely!

A Note About Registration

The credit card section for donations on the following pages defaults to a US address format, making entering Canadian postcodes tricky.

Here's the simple fix:

- When you get to the credit card payment section, look for the small US flag icon next to the billing address fields.

- Click the flag, and you will be able to select Canada (CA).

- The address fields will instantly update to Canadian style—provinces like BC/ON and proper postal code format.

- Fill in your details and complete payment.

So sorry for the trouble, and hugest gratitude for your contributions. We're working with Ticket Tailor to improve defaults, but this fix will work in the meantime. If you've tried this and it still doesn't work, please email: connie@patientpathways.ca
