Palliative Care Coalition of Canada Breakfast on the Hill
November 19th, 2025
In person: Ottawa, ON
7:30am-9:30am
Join 30+ palliative care champion organizations for a morning of networking and discussion at the National Arts Centre. This is an interactive, in-person event (with a photo opportunity!) where you can engage with experts in the field, ask all the questions you have always wanted to know, and learn why the federal government should renew its commitment to palliative care in Canada.
At a time when we need to transform how we deliver care in Canada, palliative care providers already know how to manage many of the challenges we face in our healthcare system. Palliative care professionals know how to:
-
Have difficult conversations with patients and their families/loved ones.
-
Coordinate care across systems and settings.
-
Ensure patients and their families have the practical, emotional and spiritual support they need.
-
Help caregivers cope with the challenges and realities of caring for people with a serious illness
Investing in them will give them the capacity to help lead the system transformation we need to deliver person- and family-centered care.
Don't miss out on this chance to meet the 30+ national organizations that make up the Palliative Care Coalition of Canada community!
