8:30 AM to 2:30 PM

Developed for end-of-life patients and their caregivers, Victoria Hospice's first Bucket List Festval features experts offering ideas and advice on travelling with health and mobility issues, advance care planning, navigating the health system, using technology to stay in touch with loved ones, creating a memoir and strategies for helping caregivers cope with stress and care for themselves.


Some of the presentations include:

- Travelling is on the bucket list for many, yet health and mobility issues can seem daunting. An experienced travel agent will present “The Unwell Traveller” to help you navigate an airport in a wheelchair, deal with oxygen, and plan for medical needs abroad.
- In the Advanced Care Planning session, you will learn how to make sure people know your final wishes before you are unable to state them yourself. Would you like to celebrate your life before the end?
- Pippa Hawley will present, “How to Host a Living Wake,” sure to be a lively session. She will also cover how to plan your own funeral.
- Creating a Memoir

Tickets are $25 and include a light lunch.
