The Canadian Cancer Action Network, in partnership with Carers Canada and the Canadian Home Care Association, is pleased to publically launch the 2017 report, Advancing Collective Priorities: A Canadian Carer Strategy today.
Over 8 million carers (also referred to as family caregivers) impact the lives of Canadians every day. Providing care and support to loved ones, family members and friends, they contribute over $25 billion in unpaid care every year. The 2017 report was developed in order to showcase the policies, practices and resources in place to recognize and support carers/family caregivers across Canada.
