Perspectives Unveiled

Increasing Our Understanding Between Healthcare Providers and Patients

Informed by Patients and Caregivers

CANet’s Public Forum welcomes and brings together the public, various patients and caregivers, and healthcare professionals to hear from and pose questions to leading cardiac experts and guest speakers and share experiences of living well.

We welcome all cardiac patients and caregivers to attend our free event to interact with your community in a kind, safe, and respectful manner.

Event Host / Keynote

We look forward to a great evening of discussions hosted by the trio who make up Sickboy — Jeremie Saunders, Taylor Macgillivary and Brian Stever. Sickboy is determined to break down the stigma associated with illness and disease and work to tackle health taboos with people who have experienced them firsthand.

Their podcast was born in a public library recording room, and five years later, they are a CBC Podcast, using their voices to start conversations and create change in healthcare systems and homes around the world.

Stay tuned for our complete lineup of speakers and agenda!
