Care for the Caregiver Luncheon

About the Event

Since 1989, we have been hosting a yearly appreciation luncheon for the caregivers in our community. We began this event in order to recognize, encourage and express appreciation for the outstanding work of community caregivers with the dying, their families and the bereaved.

So often, these caregivers are less visible than other professionals, and yet they play such an integral role in caring for those in need. The Caregivers Luncheon provides an opportunity for us to express our appreciation to these hard-working individuals, and offer them an experience that will hopefully uplift, motivate and inspire them to continue the great work they do for all of us in our community.

In addition to providing lunch and a special presentation by a guest speaker, we have also awarded countless bursaries to non-profit organizations in the community, for the purpose of Caregiver professional development and Caregiver support initiatives.

Our friends at Joseph Brant Hospital have also joined us in awarding hospital bursaries with similar intentions to be directed towards Caregiver development within their organization.

Past recipients of the Smith’s bursaries include The Carpenter Hospice (Music Therapy Program), Acclaim Health (Community Health Care – Nursing Department), Bereaved Families of Ontario (Children’s Program for Grieving Children and also for their Volunteer Program), Victims’ Services (for both Ontario Provincial Police and Halton Regional Police programs) among many others.

This is one small way we can say “thank you” to all the caregivers and volunteers who do so much great work in our community.
