April 16th is National Advance Care Planning Day in Canada, a day to promote conversations about your wishes and values for your future health and personal care in the event that you are unable to communicate for yourself. This year’s #ACPDay2021 is based on the theme "Advance Care Planning: An Essential Conversation for Everyone".

The ACP in Canada website - https://www.advancecareplanning.ca/acpday/ - features FREE downloadable resources, including posters and social media graphics for organizations and individuals across Canada to promote ACP.

Canadians have spoken, and although 80% of the population believes Advance Care Planning is important, less than 1 in 5 Canadians have an Advance Care Plan. Fortunately, the ACP website at www.advancecareplanning.ca is full of free information, tools, and conversation starters to help with starting the conversation. There are also links to provincial and territory-specific ACP resources across Canada.

How are you connecting with friends and family during these times? #ACPinCanada.
