Update July 11th 2008 I am currently working for The Caregivers Association of BC. A caregiver is anyone who provides unpaid care and support to an adult friend or neighbour, partner, parent, adult child or other family member. Caregivers can be any age - many young people are caregivers. The Caregivers Association of British Columbia (CABC) is a provincial, non-profit organisation formed in March 1993 to support and educate caregivers in British Columbia. - see below for more information about the current status of CABC. I have been hired to facilitate a series of discussions about ethics for the Regional Ethics Committee in Port Moody BC. This is an intitiative of Community Living BC (CLBC) - www.communitylivingbc.ca. For more information please see below. I have have signed another 6 month contract as the Artistic Director of CelticFest Vancouver, a celebration of Celtic Culture in downtown Vancouver.
