These Retreats wouldn't have been possible without funding from Employment and Social Development Canada's New Horizon's for Seniors Program, and the help of so many different people. To see the full list of thank-you's for our 2018 Retreats, click here.

Caregiver Awareness Month 2017 -- #CGAware2017 on social media
This year we turned to social media and provided a special section of our website to celebrate Caregiver Awareness Month. A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined the conversation and helped us raise awareness about all that unpaid caregivers do for their loved ones and communities.
On Tuesday, May 30th, Caregiver's Nova Scotia was invited to appear before the Canadian House of Commons’ Standing Committee on the Status of Women on the topic of the Economic Security of Women in Canada. We were asked to speak on the issue of how women's economic security is affected by unpaid caregiving. You can:
Read the written brief we submitted. Listen to Angus Campbell and Cindie Smith's oral testimony (you may need to download Adobe Flash Player).
All staff members contributed to our submissions to the Committee. This was a terrific opportunity for us, and a great way to end Caregiver Awareness Month 2017.
