Amendments to the Community Care and Assisted Living Act: Implications for Assisted Living Providers
 |
|
After much anticipation, the Community Care and Assisted Living Amendment Act comes into force on December 1, 2019, alongside the new Assisted Living Regulation. The legislation creates new considerations and added responsibilities for Community Care and Assisted Living providers, while also increasing regulatory oversight. Are you ready for these changes?
In this workshop, lawyers Ashley Celenza and Aaron Oh will highlight some of the major changes under the new Act and Regulations, and cover some key ways you can prepare for the new legal responsibilities and requirements.
Date: November 20th
Time: 1 p.m – 3 p.m.

Qmunity’s Queer Competency Training
Join BCCPA, EngAge BC and Qmunity for a four-hour workshop, intended to help you build the queer competency you need to support LGBTQ2+ seniors.
Through facilitated conversations you will focus on creating inclusive spaces and building out allyship. You will learn about:
- LGBTQ2S+ terminology and definitions.
- The gender binary and spectrum models.
- Gendered language, including pronouns and how to respectfully ask people which pronouns they prefer.
- A self-reflection exercise to illustrate how, even as allies, we oppress and/or act as bystanders during moments of oppression, before discussing ways in which we can disrupt our own biases and prejudices of those around us.
- Ways in which complicit or explicit homophobia and transphobia manifest, while discussing the similarities and differences between discrimination, prejudice and oppression, as it applies to the LGBTQ2S community.
Date: November 29th
Time: 10 a.m.– 2:30 p.m. (Lunch will be provided)
Location: BCCPA office, Burnaby
