Thank you to The Ottawa Cancer Foundation and TOCF team for joining us and for sharing your stories, perspectives, and the important support available to caregivers. These conversations matter, and we’re grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from your team and continue building awareness through the Women of Calian & Supporters ERG.
So grateful to have our team representing TOCF at a recent conversation hosted by Calian's Women of Calian & Supporters ERG, a thoughtful midday discussion on what caregiver support really looks like, why it belongs in the workplace, and how we can all do better by the people carrying that weight every day.
Sue Merrill, Chief Mission Officer, and Angie Poirier, Director of Communications, were joined by Allison Carroll of Spark University in sharing their perspectives, with Lorraine Prezeau, Senior Executive Assistant and Board Liaison, there to support and represent the TOCF team.
Conversations like this one are exactly how change happens. One honest discussion at a time.
Thank you to Nancy White and Kim Vrieling for the invitation and for building the kind of workplace where caregivers feel supported.
