Campaigns

The CHPCA hosts various national campaigns to advance the profile of hospice palliative care in Canada and advocate for quality palliative care. An increased awareness of palliative care helps to improve knowledge of and access to services and empower families, health care providers, caregivers, researchers and policy makers.

Hike for Hospice Palliative Care

The Hike for Hospice Palliative Care is a unique national fundraising event across Canada that brings together organizations working in hospice palliative care to raise funds and awareness in their community! Each year, thousands of ‘hikers’ will participate in events put on by their local hospice palliative care organizations. All funds raised during the Hike for Hospice Palliative Care stay within the community in which they were raised!

National Hospice Palliative Care Week

May 1-7, 2022 marks National Hospice Palliative Care Week in Canada. National Hospice Palliative Care Week is a time to celebrate and share achievements of hospice palliative care throughout the nation. Together, let's celebrate the amazing care that hospice palliative care teams across Canada provide to our neighbours and families, empowering them to Live in Colour - to embrace life’s kaleidoscope of colours until the very end.

National Children’s Hospice Palliative Care Day

October 13th, 2022 marks National Children's Hospice Palliative Care Day in Canada. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of pediatric hospice palliative care and improve the quality of living and dying for infants, children and youth with life-threatening conditions and their families. National Children's Hospice Palliative Care Day is held on the second Thursday of October annually.

National Grief and Bereavement Day

The third Tuesday in November marks the annual National Bereavement Day in Canada. On this day, CHPCA encourages Canadians to engage government and all sectors of Canadian society in a national dialogue to identify and support access to the necessary resources for those living with grief and bereavement. A variety of resources are made available online for download.

National Caregiver Day

National Caregiver Day falls on the 1st Tuesday of April, and is a celebration of the work caregivers provide across the country. On National Caregiver Day, we focus on the challenges faced when caregiving for loved ones living with a life limiting illness.

Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for Giving Tuesday.

World Compassionate Communities Day

The inaugural World Compassionate Communities Day is on November 1st, 2021! Compassionate communities are created when people come together to support those faced with dying, caregiving, and grief. World Compassionate Communities Day seeks to celebrate the incredible support that Compassionate Communities have provided to those experiencing end-of-life, caregiving, and bereavement.
