e-4084 Health
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed glaring shortcomings in treatment and care of Canada's elderly and disabled citizens, it is a national shame we failed to meet our commitments to elderly and disabled citizens who bear the impact of living with diseases of the brain and mind;
Statistics Canada reports the number of Canadians over 85 will triple by 2046 and with that comes an exponential increase in the onset of diseases of the brain and mind creating huge pressure on our healthcare systems and detrimentally impacting our elderly, their families and caregivers; and
Through education and advocacy, our nation can shape public policy by bringing together stakeholders with expertise and diverse perspectives of research, academia, innovation, technology, and care of the elderly and vulnerable citizens.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to approve a national brain and mind health week starting 1st Monday of October.
