Caregivers Honour Roll
Canada Cares Honours Dedicated Family and Professional Caregivers with our
Annual Caregiver Recognition Awards.
The One Wish Awards are intended to help make a difference in the lives of Canadian caregivers by providing financial assistance to meet specific needs. The Family Caregiver Awards recognize the one in four estimated Canadians that are providing care for a loved one with little or no recognition. As the sole national caregiver recognition program, Canada Cares is pleased to recognize incredible family caregivers.
