CCCB Symposium on Palliative Care

This week the Canadian Conference of Bishops (CCCB) released a video titled “Unlocking Hope: Highlights from the International Interfaith Symposium on Palliative Care.” This video demonstrates the profound discussions and shared aspirations that emerged from the recent symposium organized by the CCCB and the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV), along with other key partners.

The symposium happened from May 21 to May 23, 2024, in Toronto, and gathered leaders, experts, and advocates from diverse backgrounds to explore the vital role of palliative care in fostering compassion and dignity through serious illness and at the end of life. Through engaging presentations, panel discussions, and collaborative workshops, participants worked towards shaping a narrative of hope and understanding in palliative care that transcends cultural and religious boundaries.

Watch the video now on CCCB YouTube channel and join the movement towards a more compassionate and inclusive approach to end-of-life care.
