Care to Chat: A Conversation with André Picard
Join us on April 22, 2025, for an engaging conversation between Terry Lake, CEO of BCCPA and André Picard, an award-winning health reporter and columnist for The Globe and Mail, as well as the author of six bestselling books, including Neglected No More: The Urgent Need to Improve the Lives of Canada’s Elders in the Wake of a Pandemic.
This discussion will explore the challenges facing Canada’s seniors living and care sector within the broader healthcare system—and how we, as a society, can collectively address the needs of an aging population.
Key topics will include Canada’s response (or lack thereof) to the COVID-19 pandemic and its disproportionate impact on seniors and the aged care sector; the potential for another pandemic and lessons learned; a plan for unpaid family caregivers; the need for interoperable electronic health records; the challenges posed by the Canada Health Act; and more!
Delegates will leave with a deeper understanding of the issues affecting Canada’s healthcare system and the potential solutions that could shape a better future for today’s and tomorrow’s older adults.
