Today is #WorldKindnessDay, a day dedicated to promoting and celebrating acts of kindness on a global level. @terrencewkho was this year's recipient of the @CaregiverON's #UndercoverKindness Project award and joins @Candace_Global to share his story.
@CaregiverON This has most certainly been one of the highlights of my career. Check out OCO’s undercover kindness project. A small act of kindness can make such a difference to a #caregiver#RandomActsofKindnessDay
Having an employer that understands the challenges of balancing work and caregiving makes a significant difference to my quality of life. So proud to work for the Ontario Caregiver Organization #caregiver#worklifebalance
Thank you @globeandmail for sharing “Family first,” my thoughts on creating #caregiver friendly workplaces for people balancing work & care for a family member or friend. Recognition & support are vital for caregivers in our workplaces & society. https://t.co/vXv7O1YKVM

Wishing everyone a #HappyNewYear! It's hard to believe we're approaching the third year of the #COVID19 pandemic. Let's continue to work together to improve the lives of #caregivers and look after one another in this new year.
So proud to have been part of this work. We can all help a #caregiver. Read the report for meaningful things you can do as friends, family, health and service providers, educators and employers.
The load for family caregivers got a lot heavier when the #COVID19 pandemic hit. It's been 89 weeks (622 days!) & the toll on #caregivers has been HUGE. Check in on a caregiver today - they are not okay! #mustread#onpoli#onhealth
