This week, we spent two days together in Toronto, laser-focused on strategic planning. We’re hard at work for this profession and our members! Stay tuned for the incredible path forward that we’re building for this Association 🇨🇦#proudtobeFSAC #funeralservice #strategicplanning

We have teamed up with the Funeral Service Foundation and the ICCFA Educational Foundation to bring you Journey to Serve. This helps recruit military veterans into the deathcare profession: journeytoserve.com/ca/

FSAC members are family, it's more than just a membership. Check out the benefits we have to offer here: fsac.ca/member-benefits 👌

We are looking for people and companies to offer educational webinars to our growing membership of 500+ funeral professionals. If you're interested in hosting a webinar contact us today: fsac.ca/webinars 🙌

As a result, some policies provide challenges to funeral providers regarding compliance. IATA has agreed to liaise with Air Canada to clarify some misstated information regarding the shipment of human remains. Further collaboration on this and other subjects will take place.

Air Canada relies upon guidance from IATA to establish policies and protocols for shipment of remains both domestically and internationally. Significant amounts of information from IATA and Air Canada results from information sources other than professional funeral expertise.

FSAC, together with Emerson de Luca of @FIATIFTA met with Lucy Exell and her colleagues at the @IATA to review and discuss IATA’s Compassionate Transportation Guidelines and its impact on Canadian shipping of human remains.

Allan Cole, @fredettephil, and Diane Hull, together with Randy Ling of Mount Lawn Funeral Home met with @TurnbullWhitby, Liberal MP for @TownofWhitby, ON to discuss the CPP Death Benefit and Eligible Funeral Arrangements.

FSAC invites you to a session on Vaccination in the Workplace with James A. LeNoury, B.A., M.A., LL.B, LeNoury Law, March 17, 2021, at 3 PM EST. Learn more and register at fsac.ca/vaccination-in…. #ProfessionalDevelopment #VaccinationInformation
