Today, we pause to remember and honour the brave men and women who served, sacrificed, and continue to serve our country.

We remember their courage, their sacrifices, and the freedoms they fought to protect.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget. ❤️

A research team at the Stollery Children’s Hospital is inviting parents and caregivers of children who have been hospitalized to participate in a brief survey about caregiver wellbeing.

The INSIGHT survey aims to better understand what feels manageable for families when being asked about their wellbeing during a child’s hospital stay. Feedback will help inform the design of a future study focused on measuring caregiver wellbeing in real time, while keeping participation respectful and not overly burdensome for families.

The survey is anonymous and takes approximately 2–5 minutes to complete. All hospital experiences are welcome, including families whose child has previously been admitted to an ICU.

If you’re interested in participating, please consider completing the survey using the link below and entering the code KC3MJPL9M
