To coincide with National Caregiver Day, the Above and Beyond Caregiver Recognition Program was established to recognize, celebrate and support caregivers who make it possible for people to live their lives in their communities despite the impacts of age, illness or disability. This annual event is an exciting opportunity to recognize caregivers for their extraordinary efforts and contributions, while also sharing their experiences, stories and learnings. On this page you will find the list of caregivers that were honoured as part of our past events as well as some of their incredible stories. Other event highlights, including previous event programs and videos are also included.

Caring and Sharing
This caregiver is giving back to their community by helping and guiding others through sharing the knowledge and experience gained from their journey.
This category recognizes the extraordinary efforts of a friend or family member under the age of 30 years who has gone above and beyond to support the needs of a loved one.
With over 100 nominations from across the province, the inaugural Above and Beyond Caregiver Recognition hybrid event took place on May 10, 2023 to recognize the substantial efforts of unpaid caregivers across the province.
The event was simulcast across the province with in-person events taking place in Chatham, Hamilton, Toronto, Brampton and Markham. Event sites were determined based on the location of the caregivers who were selected to receive special recognition.
Congratulations to the 2023 Above and Beyond Caregiver Recognition category recipients and to all of the caregivers who were put forward for recognition!
