Are You Prepared For The Unexpected?

Take a moment and consider...

• If you have ‘benefits’ through your employer, do you REALLY know just how much you, your spouse or your children are covered? Do you want to wait for a major illness to find out? What you think you are covered for and what you are covered for may come as a surprise to you... as it has to many others.

If a major illness hits you, your spouse or one of your children, what is your
greatest concern?

• Protecting your paycheque, your spouse’s paycheque? Consider if your child becomes sick, could you or your spouse afford to live without a paycheque while caring for your child?


• Could you continue with the same lifestyle for you and your family if a critical illness happens?


• Do you have a fund to pay the costs associated with cancer? An estimated 166,400 new cases of cancer occur each year in Canada.* If you develop cancer, have a heart attack or stroke, do you have an emergency cash fund equal to 6 to 12 months income to pay the non-medical costs?

• Are you prepared for the unexpected medical expenses? Will your current health insurance cover all of the costs?
