Personal health insurance
Unexpected health expenses can show up when you least expect them. Personal health insurance can help cover things like prescription drugs, dental care, vision care and more, giving you added peace of mind when provincial coverage doesn't cover it all.

Have you considered how a serious illness could affect your finances while you’re still working and supporting your family?
Critical illness insurance protects more than just your future — it helps safeguard your financial stability during recovery when you need it most.
If you're diagnosed with one of 26 covered illnesses and meet policy requirements, critical illness insurance provides a lump-sum benefit you can use for whatever matters: medical expenses, mortgage payments, lost income or ongoing care. That means you can focus on getting better instead of worrying about finances.
Those eligible can benefit from 10% lower premiums for life when you bundle critical illness coverage with other protection solutions. This rate locks in permanently giving you lasting financial security. Get in touch to see if this offer is right for you. https://advisor.sunlife.ca/darrin.shannon

Health insurance and retirement planning
Retirement planning is about more than replacing income. Many Canadians are surprised to learn that expenses such as dental care, vision care, hearing aids, prescription drugs and home care may not be fully covered in retirement.
As Canadians live longer, planning for future health-care costs is becoming an important part of building a retirement strategy that can stand the test of time.
Have you considered how health-related expenses may fit into your retirement plan?

For many farming families, succession isn't just about who will take over — it's also about whether taking over is financially feasible.
Rising land values, equipment costs and operating expenses can make farm ownership feel out of reach for the next generation, even when the interest is there.
A transition plan can help identify strategies that balance the needs of the retiring generation with the goals and financial realities of those taking over.
I can help start the conversation and connect with appropriate professionals where needed to create a roadmap that can help support your family and the business.
Every farm is unique. Having a plan in place can help your family move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
