Happy National Family Caregiver Month! 💙

May is a time to recognize and celebrate the 8+ million caregivers across Canada who provide care to a family member, friend, or loved one. Caregiving plays a vital role in our communities, offering meaningful support while also coming with challenges.

This year’s theme, “Together in Caregiving,” highlights the importance of connection, shared support, and community. We’re excited to bring to life through events happening across BC and Canada. We’re thrilled to share a range of events and gatherings where caregivers can connect, share experiences, and access resources.

There are many ways to take part: join an event, connect with others, share a story, or take a moment for yourself.

Our participation helps secure the funding needed for the Sunshine Coast Hospice Society to provide compassionate support to people in our community affected by a life-limiting illness, death, and all types of grief.

The Hospice Society has arranged for BBQ burgers from the Lions Club, baked goods, raffle tickets, door prizes and great conversations. They will also have a space dedicated to viewing and discussing their "Living With Dying" documentary. Come and see how they use funds from our community, including those raised during Hike/Walk for Hospice.

We invite you to bring friends and family to join our team at 10 am on May 31st at the Sechelt Centre in Sechelt. Please let me know if you can volunteer for the 'Hike', as we need to arrange for Home Healthcare Network participants to have t-shirts for the morning so we can show our team support.

Also, please note that the event has moved from Mission Point Park to the Seaside Centre in Sechelt. The short "Walk for Hospice" will start at the Centre before the celebration.

Our team's goal is to raise $1000 for the Hospice. There is no fee to participate, but if you would like to donate the link is below. Please feel free to share this link with friends and family!

Thank you for contributing to the success of Hike for Hospice 2026, our primary annual fundraiser. Your donation directly benefits people in our Coastal community.  We welcome you to join us for

Rebekah’s story—and her passion for supporting those whose young caregiver stories often mirror her own lived experience caring for both her parents—can be found on our latest episode of “Caring For Changes”.

The burdens that young caregivers carry daily are often done so in silence—which puts an extra layer of feelings of isolation experienced by those who are often thrust into the task of caring for a loved one where they like it or not at the forefront of this episode. As co-founder and director of the Young Caregiver Council of Canada, Rebekah Gold candidly shares her own lived experience on what it means to be a young caregiver.

This episode would never have happened had a one-time street performer/goofy clown turned dedicated caregiver for his terminally ill spouse not scribbled his phone number onto a piece of scrap paper and put it into the palm of host BJ Doyle’s hand. It's a story that’s still being written and part of the latest episode of “Caring For Changes”.

For Chris Rosati, being thrust into the role of caregiver to his wife Jane ended up being the most profound experience of his life. It also meant a crash course in reinventing himself through his and Jane’s shared experience of drawing on humour to eventually emerge as both a storyteller and caregiver advocate.

Getting a diagnosis of a Loved One’s serious illness is enough to knock any of us off the emotional “beam”, to say nothing of the physical and financial considerations that often come into play. This episode serves as a ground zero compass of sorts to help anyone get and keep their bearings throughout the caregiving journey.
