The Kingston Frontenac Public Library is hosting an “Advance Care Planning” information session on March 6, 2026, to help adults and caregivers in Kingston, Ontario, plan for their future medical and legal needs. This free event will take place at the Kingston East Community Centre to provide residents with practical advice on documenting their health wishes. This service is designed to help people make important choices in advance to reduce confusion for families during medical emergencies.
Florence Campbell, the chair of Compassionate Communities Kingston Canada, will lead the discussion. The session focuses on helping people identify who should make health decisions on their behalf and how to ensure their care aligns with their personal values and beliefs if they can no longer speak for themselves.
The presentation runs from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM and is followed by a social gathering called the Talking Café. During this time, which lasts until 4:00 PM, guests can enjoy refreshments while participating in guided conversations about the planning process with other members of the community.
Registration for the session is currently open through the library’s website, though organizers note that available seats are limited. The event is held at the community centre on Highway 15, a facility that also includes a mobile library unit for local residents.
