For more than a decade, BC Care Providers Association’s Care to Chat series has been key in bringing together top opinion leaders, experts and key decision makers to create dialogue about important and emerging issues in the province’s seniors living and care sector.

Season 12 kicked off with an “Election Edition” on September 24th, 2025, which featured former B.C. Minister of Health, Hon. Adrian Dix and MLA Elenore Sturko, as well as other candidates like Pat McCutcheon (Green Party of BC), Karin Kirkpatrick (former MLA with BC United, independent candidate). Read our wrap- up post here.

In April, top health reporter and Global & Mail columnist, Andre Picard, sat down with BCCPA CEO and former B.C. Minister of Health, Terry Lake, for a thought-provoking conversation on Canada’s seniors living and care sector. Read our wrap up post here.

The season concluded with a timely discussion on climate change and emergency preparedness on May 12, 2025. Stay tuned for our wrap up post.

Season 13 sponsorship opportunities are coming soon! Look out for our prospectus in August 2025.

Thank you to our Season 12 Care to Chat sponsors who make these conversations possible.
