Navigating Retirement is a group of retirees in London who are interested in providing information to retired individuals in our community. Our goal is to help people better navigate their retirement years by highlighting resources to help with aging and associated issues and by providing educational workshops and informative guest-speaker presentations. This group also provides another avenue for social connections and an opportunity to have some fun along the way. In addition, there are no membership fees required to attend our meetings.

Deferring Property Taxes for Seniors
Navigating Retirement made a submission to the City of London to introduce a property tax deferral for lower-income seniors. This plan is used in many municipalities across Canada and allows the property taxes to be deferred until the property is eventually sold. We believe this would be a benefit to lower income seniors in our city.
