Celebrate Family Council's Impact: June 6-12

Family Council Week is an annual recognition week that celebrates the important role Family Councils play in long-term care homes across Ontario. It recognizes the contributions of family members, caregivers, residents, and council participants who work together to support communication, collaboration, and quality of life. 

Throughout the week, councils and long-term care homes often host events to highlight connection, belonging, and partnership in care. 

To help your council make the most of this special week, we are thrilled to launch the Family Council Week Celebration Guide. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a home-wide event, this toolkit is packed with inspiration to help you connect and celebrate.

Inside the guide, you'll find:

• Activity Ideas: Choose activities that best fit your home's unique community. Get inspiration from coffee chats, educational sessions, and more.
• Planning Tools: Access step-by-step instructions to help you plan your event with ease.
• Promotional Tips: Spread the word by partnering with your home's administration to post flyers, send emails, or include an announcement in the home's newsletter.

We want to see your partnership in action! Share your event highlights and photos on social media using the hashtag #FamilyCouncilWeek2026.
