Above and Beyond Caregiver Recognition Event 2023
With over 100 nominations from across the province, the inaugural Above and Beyond Caregiver Recognition hybrid event took place on May 10, 2023 to recognize the substantial efforts of unpaid caregivers across the province.
The event was simulcast across the province with in-person events taking place in Chatham, Hamilton, Toronto, Brampton and Markham. Event sites were determined based on the location of the caregivers who were selected to receive special recognition.
