| The weather continues to tease us by steadily improving and offering more sunshine, while still sprinkling snow occasionally to remind us not to get ahead of ourselves by packing away all our boots and parkas. In our April update, we are excited to share news including a recap of the first season of the Care Possible Academy, our series of educational events available to our community in partnership with subject matter experts. We are also reminded that the 2025 federal election is near, and we share some thoughts from the Canadian Caregiver Centre of Excellence on making caregiving a part of the national agenda. You'll also find an opportunity to share your Care Possible stories, feedback and suggestions. Enjoy this month's stories and updates...and GO JETS GO! |
