The effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the long term care sector in Canada has been described as a national disaster, a tragedy, a national disgrace. Yet the makings of this disaster have been in plain sight for years. Did we choose not to see them? If we did, why? On May 21st, we will get together to examine the crisis in long term care, explore what our responsibility is or should be to it and discuss where we go from here in addressing it.
