AGM DINNER SPEAKER: JAY PERRY

Five years ago, photographer Jay Perry dropped everything to take care of his father who was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Three years after his father died, Jay released a book on his experience as a caregiver and the journey he and his father took together. He has travelled the country speaking at various events, most notably TEDx in Toronto and SocialLight Vancouver 2016.

Jay’s experience provides first-hand insight into home-care and the role of a caregiver from a unique and increasingly common perspective — that of a young person, a son or daughter, trying to navigate our health care system while supporting and being the prime caregiver for a parent in need of care.
