About this Event

Imagine if all the places that provided care to the people in our communities had:

  • enough staff
  • skilled and experienced staff
  • energized staff

We’re talking about the workers and workplaces in hospitals, schools, childcare, mental health, housing & income supports, programs that connect us with neighbours, and so many other services, health teams, institutions, and non-profit organizations.


Do you work in one of these Caring sectors? You can help us build change!

This year we are seeking input from frontline workers and other non-leadership roles.

Join us as we:

  • share some early findings from our Caring Workforce Survey
  • collaborate with like-minded people across these sectors
  • define challenges and possibilities for staff retention, growth and attraction
  • brainstorm practical next steps for positive change


Seats are limited. Please reach out to Sonya at [email protected] if you have questions about tickets or the event.
