State of care in Canada
It is essential to understand the experiences of caregivers and care providers across Canada in order to work toward meaningful solutions. The first day of the Canadian Caregiving Summit will focus on the lived realities of those who give care in both paid and unpaid roles, and explore the supports, gaps, and barriers as we highlight the need for a national caregiving strategy.

Defining the need for a national caregiving strategy
The care economy in Canada has reached a tipping point: many caregivers feel like they cannot go on, care providers are leaving the sector and people accessing care are struggling.

Towards a national caregiving strategy
A national caregiving strategy has the potential to transform the experiences of caregivers and care providers from coast-to-coast-to-coast. On the final day of the Summit, we will hear about models of care outside of Canada and how countries such as the U.S. and United Kingdom have achieved policy reform for caregivers and care providers. We will work together to identify and prioritize policy recommendations and innovations.
