John K. Friesen Conference

Safer and Better: Re-Visioning Elder Care Across the Shelter-Care Continuum
Chairperson: Andrew Wister
This year’s conference is a one-day virtual event due to the risk imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, especially to older adults. The’ silver lining’ of the pandemic is that we have a clearer understanding of the weaknesses and inadequacies in our continuing and long-term care systems. We are bringing together some of the top experts in Canada to discuss new visions and models of care that will allow us to rebuild these systems in a more robust and resilient form as we look towards the future of formal care in Canada.
