Whistler Library – September 19 – 10:00 a.m. – 12 noon – Coffee & Refreshments served.

Identity theft is becoming increasingly common, and the consequences can go far
beyond losing money. Your personal information can be used to open accounts, make
purchases, access services, or create serious financial and legal problems in your
name.

Join Whistler MAC for an informative and engaging education session with Mary
Pichette, Business Development Consultant and Risk Mitigation Specialist, as she
explores the real costs and consequences of identity theft—and, importantly, what you
can do to protect yourself.

In this session, you will learn:
 How identity theft happens and the warning signs to watch for
 How criminals can use your personal information
 The financial and personal consequences of identity theft
 Steps you can take to reduce your risk
 What to do if you believe your identity has been compromised
 Where to turn for help and support

Mary brings more than 30 years of experience as an educator, social justice advocate
and business professional. A former criminology and law professor, she is passionate
about helping Canadians better understand their rights and access practical solutions.

Mary’s approach is informative, practical and engaging, with a focus on helping people
feel more confident and prepared. She will also discuss affordable solutions that can
provide greater peace of mind.
Don’t assume it won’t happen to you. Learn how to recognize the risks, protect
your information and know what to do if something goes wrong.
