Advance Care Planning Canada

06/08/2026

Many people think advance care planning is only for older adults. It's not.

Unexpected illness or injury can happen at any age. Advance Care Planning helps ensure the people who care about you understand your wishes and preferences if you're ever unable to speak for yourself.

Whether you're 18 or 108, having these conversations matters. What would you want someone to know about what matters most to you?

June is National Indigenous History Month. As we reflect on the profound histories and enduring strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, CHPCA and ACP Canada are reaffirming our commitment to reconciliation in healthcare.

We believe high-quality hospice and palliative care must be rooted in cultural safety, humility, and deep respect for diverse traditions. Reconciliation goes beyond this month of reflection. It must be an ongoing, daily practice of listening, learning, and collaborating to dismantle barriers to compassionate end-of-life care.

Join us in honouring . Together, let’s work toward an equitable healthcare system for all. . . . .
Juin est le Mois national de l'histoire autochtone. Alors que nous réfléchissons aux histoires profondes et à la force durable des Premières Nations, des Inuits et des Métis, l’ACSP et PPS Canada réaffirment leur engagement envers la réconciliation dans le secteur de la santé.

Nous croyons fermement que des soins palliatifs et de fin de vie de haute qualité doivent s'enraciner dans la sécurité culturelle, l'humilité et un profond respect des diverses traditions. La réconciliation va bien au-delà de ce mois de réflexion : elle doit être une pratique quotidienne et continue d'écoute, d'apprentissage et de collaboration afin de briser les barrières qui entravent l'accès à des soins de fin de vie empreints de compassion.

Joignez-vous à nous pour souligner le . Ensemble, travaillons à bâtir un système de santé équitable pour tout le monde.
