Family members & friends often ask how the care recipient is doing but they don’t always think to ask how the caregiver is doing. Caregivers told us that a simple phone call can make a big difference. If you know a caregiver, give them a call on November 13, for Kindness Day.
Across generations, Canadians have dedicated their lives to preserve peace. To honour those who have served and continue to serve, we pause for 2 minutes of silence. Make November 11 the most unforgettable day of the year. #CanadaRemembers
