Caregiving in Canada: Current State, Solutions, and Policy Change

Caregivers support individuals across all stages of life, from aging parents to children with disabilities or serious illnesses, and friends or neighbours experiencing sickness. Currently, one in four Canadians provides care and most will become caregivers at some point in their lives. However, Canada’s caregiving system is facing significant pressures due to an aging populating and increasing demands on caregivers, including those supporting children.

Join Liv Mendelsohn, Executive Director of CCCE, a program of the Azrieli Foundation, for a virtual session to learn about the key challenges facing Canadians and how the National Caregiving Strategy is serving as a roadmap for change.
