For the 8.1 million Canadians, caring for their friends, family, neighbours and loved ones, their experiences are unique and personal. On National Caregiver Day we are showcasing Canadians’ experiences in caregiving; how COVID-19 has impacted caregivers and organizations that support caregivers. This year, supporting Canadian caregivers is more important than ever as the COVID-19 pandemic has created additional pressures, impacting their physical, emotional, and financial health.
