Vice President of Care BC’s Board, Doug Purdie, will be hosting the pin and certificate ceremony.  The Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia and Care BC Executive Director, Dr. Inge Schamborzki will also be in attendance.

"Renewal and rejuvenation -- they’re words that conjure up fluffy bath robes and spa treatments. For caregivers, renewal and rejuvenation may be seen as indulgences that just don’t have a place in their lives. The best way for caregivers to ensure their own good health and that of the person they’re caring for, however, is to take time to look after themselves. Respite is an opportunity to get that needed rest and rejuvenation. Turns out it’s not a luxury; it’s an important practice for staying healthy."
