Join us at our latest Thryve & Shine in-person session to understand how identity theft happens and what you can do to reduce your risk.
About this Event

Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes affecting Canadians, and older adults are often targeted. This informative and practical session will help you better understand how identity theft happens and what you can do to protect yourself.


You'll learn:

  • How to recognize common identity theft tactics and reduce your rick of becoming a target
  • What information criminals look for and how they build profiles to steal identities
  • Real-life examples of how individuals successfully protected themselves and avoided financial harm
  • Practical steps you can take immediately to safeguard your personal and financial information


Thryve & Shine is a complimentary monthly seminar series designed for older adults and their families. These daytime gatherings are a chance to replace overwhelm with clear, current, and relevant information in a welcoming, community setting.

Each session features engaging seminars and panels led by trusted local experts who provide honest, objective answers to the questions older adults are asking most. From lifestyle and wellness to legal, financial, and housing decisions, you’ll hear guidance you can truly rely on.

Join us every second Wednesday of the month at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 643 in Etobicoke. Leave each event with greater clarity and confidence, practical resources to review at home (plus digital follow-ups to share with loved ones), and meaningful connections with professionals who genuinely care about your journey.
