✈️ Early this month, Jenny and Lyn flew to Victoria to present at the first pan-Canadian National Gathering on Caregiver Social Prescribing.

At the conference, we discussed how our organizations implement Social Prescribing for caregivers across the provinces, what we learn and what we hope to achieve as we enter Phase 2 of the project. Scroll for a *tiny* insight into our progress.

🎤 Jenny Theriault on the conference:
"We spent wonderful two days connecting, learning and sharing ideas with our colleagues. Lyn and I came home with full heads and hearts, lots of new ideas, and plenty of inspiration for the work ahead. We love connecting with others who share our passion for supporting caregivers!

A big thank you to the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence for helping make this opportunity possible, and especially to the Family Caregivers of British Columbia for hosting such a thoughtful and well-organized gathering!"

Last week, Ben and Héloïse were happy to attend the ISANS's Senior Services Information Fair!

Every year, ISANS hosts a fair to connect seniors and caregivers to resources in their community.

It's an especially important event for newcomers, who can learn more about local resources, talk directly to service providers and ask questions in their preferred language (interpreters available in Arabic, Ukrainian, Nepali, Mandarin, Dari, Swahili, Spanish and Kinyarwanda).

It's been a joy to connect with all of you 💜
