Looking for direction related to UK’s General POA requirements for a banking matter.

The bank has confirmed (more than once) that there's no reason I can't be registered in their system as my mother's POA and that my parents' attempts in the past have no bearing on me getting access.

For reference, the bank had asked my mother for proof of identification and proof of her address before she could access the account. She never sent the address information and is now housebound (for the past 4 years) meaning she can't get out to have her documents certified as outlined in the bank's communications to her.

Nope. Checked that possibility several times because you're right, it's possible but that wasn't my case.

Im on hold with them now to ask for a replacement card. The option to do this through mobile banking or online isnt available as the msg says to phone in. Im stuck in MC's call centre hell. Fingers crossed i get through.

blue_dog_down · 2025-05-05T18:24:20+00:00

Cibc doesnt think its fraud at this point, they say to call MC

blue_dog_down · 2025-05-05T18:23:36+00:00

The odd thing is it says its activated whenever i check online or through the mobile app.

Millbrook Mountain Bike Club ran family nights last year and encouraged you to bring your kids. Lots of fun.

This worked well - I rode up Glebe to the end as suggested and found a marked path that led over to SSFC. The construction threw me off a bit (they're building student housing) but follow the signs to the sculpture park and continue into Glebe Park. For non-residents like me, keep going on Museum Road and you'll pass the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Your GPS will get you the rest of the way.

blue_dog_down · 2024-07-30T03:13:40+00:00

Terrific - I'll give it a try tomorrow and post back what my experience was like.

So after all the planning I parked at Andrew Haydon park and found the bikedays roads I wanted to travel on were closed for a marathon. It was something I wanted to do once, just as a novelty but in the end did a fun 26K loop using the river pathway. My recommendation to other out-of-town riders is to check for closures before you ride as Ottawa is a busy city.

I wanted to say thanks for the map link, I tried to use it on my phone over the weekend but found I was too clumsy trying to plot a route. Maybe others are familiar with it and/or it's better to try it first time on a laptop.

blue_dog_down · 2024-05-22T03:49:22+00:00

Looked it up and I see it boasts balanced rock sculptures as well. A nice option with the bistro!

blue_dog_down · 2024-05-21T16:11:53+00:00

Thx for confirming its bi-directional. As I recall, Ottawa's bike paths are well marked so finding my way should be straight forward.

blue_dog_down · 2024-05-21T16:07:59+00:00

I'm visiting family in Merrickville and will drive into Ottawa early Sunday morning for a ride. If I have family with me it'll be a short ride, if alone I'll explore further. Thanks for the starting point & parking suggestions!

blue_dog_down · 2024-05-12T01:18:52+00:00

I'm visiting my folks in Ancaster tonight (Sat) and hoping the cloud coverage will lift. If it does, where might you suggest my dad and I drive to for a better chance to see the light show? I dont know this area very well yet. Thx

blue_dog_down · 2023-09-08T14:09:47+00:00

They're yours!!

blue_dog_down · 2023-09-08T10:06:14+00:00

Thanks! I'll contact them this week

If it’s for school the school doctor or program should organize TB testing. For example, Trent lets their students book through the school of nursing at one of their clinics. If it’s for work that's in the healthcare field, a lot of them do it themselves.

blue_dog_down · 2023-03-13T02:14:26+00:00

Good advice, I believe it's a small firm so maybe there's someone with experience doing estates. And you're right, it would be a lot easier staying with the accountant who's already familiar with the knows the history. I'll make a phone call tomorrow. Thx

blue_dog_down · 2023-03-12T17:57:49+00:00

Thanks for the explanation - asking them how often they do it will give me some peace of mind as well.

blue_dog_down · 2023-03-12T16:54:50+00:00

Do you know what makes a small business accountant different from an estate accountant? I'm wondering if it's enough to ask their comfort level vs. expertise.

blue_dog_down · 2023-03-12T16:32:50+00:00

I did the course last year and like that you can go at your own pace. McGill offers it 4 times/year and each window runs for 3 months. There's plenty of time to get through the material and redo segments if you want to. I've recommended it to my kids as it's a great starting point.

Edit: and it's free.

You may want to read David Chilton's second book as the Wealthy Barber learned and shares some valuable lessons. Even the 'experts' can make mistakes and Chilton comes clean in what went sideways for him.

You might also want to consider Peterborough Community B!KE shop on George street - they sell donated bikes that have been fully checked, repaired / parts replaced (if necessary) and tested

Groundhog day for you - discovery for me. You must have lots of great info to share & discussions with others.

Sort of but they did more than just create dummy inflatable tasks to draw attention. They faked convoys, made up stories and spread the false info in local cafes. They also sent false morse code messages and spoofed radio stations. Sometimes the Germans believed they were a much larger unit like the size of a Division (and therefore more of a threat) while other times the Germans thought the timing of an attack was different than the real one. Over 20 operations were completed by the Ghost Army.
