Advance Care Planning Canada ? Who would you trust to make your healthcare decisions? April 16th is the Canadian National Advance Care Planning Day.

It is a day for you and others to reflect on decisions you would like made about your health care, should you be unable to speak for yourself. Advance Care Planning Day provides an opportunity to open up a conversation with a loved one about their wishes for end of life care - or it might remind you to review your own plan.

Why become a Last Aid® Facilitator? Because talking about end-of-life care should not be a taboo topic, it should be an empowered conversation.

Each course is led by a duo: one clinical expert (MD/RN) and one with lived or allied health experience. Join us at one of our next training sessions in November or January.

Cultural values like filial piety and family harmony deeply shape serious illness conversations. Requests to pursue all treatments or hesitancy around prognosis are not barriers, they're expressions of care.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, CHPCA reflects on the enduring legacy of residential schools, honouring the lost children, Survivors, their families, and communities. Reconciliation in healthcare requires listening, unlearning, and taking meaningful action to eliminate inequities. We remain committed to fostering culturally safe, respectful, and accessible care for Indigenous Peoples across Canada—every day of the year. 🧡

En cette Journée nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation, l'ACSP réfléchit aux séquelles d'entraînement des pensionnats autochtones, en rendant hommage aux enfants disparus, aux survivants, à leurs familles et à leurs communautés. La réconciliation dans le domaine des soins de santé exige de l'écoute, un désapprentissage et des actions concrètes pour éliminer les inéquités. Nous demeurons engagés à favoriser des soins de fin de vie culturellement sécuritaires, respectueux et accessibles pour les peuples autochtones à travers le Canada — chaque jour de l'année. 🧡

If a medical emergency left you unable to speak for yourself, who would speak for you? 🤔

Step 3 of Advance Care Planning is CHOOSING decision-makers that you trust. But how do you pick the right person? Look for someone who:

✅ Knows your personal values and respects your healthcare choices
✅ Can stay calm and make tough choices under pressure
✅ Is willing to advocate for you with doctors and medical teams

Important to note: Legal titles for decision-makers vary depending on where you live in Canada (like Substitute Decision-Maker, Proxy, Representative, or Attorney for Personal Care). To learn the specific legal terms and rules for your province or territory, visit advancecareplanning.ca/across-canada.
