The RDSP is a powerful savings tool for people w/ disabilities, but nearly half of eligible Canadians don’t know it exists. Measures like automatic enrollment + improving access to information would help ensure it benefits those who need it. #CdnCaregiving

Nearly 2/3 of caregivers balance work with caregiving responsibilities. The federal government can lead by example, by implementing caregiver-friendly policies, like flexible work arrangements, to its workforce. #ActOnCare #CdnCaregiving

All Canadian families are impacted by caregiving—and legislation is needed now. The government committed to a National Caregiving Strategy in their election platform. Let’s put it in law, with clear roles, targets and regular reviews to ensure real impact.

At 17, Najiha has been a young caregiver for most of her life. She's just one of millions of young caregivers in Canada. Through our Young Carers Roundtable and the Young Sibling Peer Support Network, we're working to ensure young caregivers like Najiha get the help they need.

Wendy’s story is one of many. 80% of care providers have considered leaving the sector due to unsafe conditions and low pay. This cannot go on. That's why we’re calling for a $25/hr minimum wage as part of our national caregiving strategy. #CdnCaregiving.
