National Caregiver Month Events in May

This month recognizes and raises awareness about the more than 8 million people in Canada who provide care to a family member or friend. Many people do not identify as caregivers, even though they play an essential role in supporting loved ones and communities. Caregiving is often a natural part of relationships, and this month highlights both the importance of caregivers and the challenges they may face, along with available supports and resources. Explore our events below:

Courage to Care: Connecting Through Caregiving Stories

  • Location: Trout Lake Community Centre at 3360 Victoria Drive, Vancouver, BC
  • Date: Friday, May 22, 2026
  • Time: 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm

Description: This special gathering brings family caregivers together to share their stories, enjoy food, and recognize the vital role caregiving plays in our communities. We will also feature the soon-to-be-released book Courage to Care: Ripples of Love in Action, a collection of reflections, poems, stories, and artwork exploring the lived experience of care across Canada. The project is supported by the Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN) in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence, and informed by the work of community organizer and author Al Etmanski. The afternoon will include light snacks and refreshments, time for informal connection and conversation, a facilitated caregiver circle, visual and storytelling elements from the book and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
