Planning for the care journey:
What caregivers and families need to know

Thursday, April 16, 2026 | 1 p.m. ET

Caregiving is an issue that affects all Canadians – and disproportionately impacts women. One in four Canadians is a caregiver for someone with a long-term health condition, disability or need related to aging at some point in their lives. The role of being a caregiver can be rewarding and meaningful, however, caregiving can come at a high cost to many who are in the caregiver role.

Due to popular demand and feedback received following our first caregiving event, we are pleased to welcome back our panel of caregiving experts for a continued conversation.

 Join us as we explore:

• How to plan for longevity and the potential for needing care.
• The responsibilities and growing complexities of caregiving.
• The emotional and workplace pressures many caregivers face.
• Financial planning considerations. 
• Emerging digital and AI tools, and other resources available to help you navigate the caregiving journey.
