Researchers often reach out to find people who are willing to provide their opinions or time as participants in surveys and studies. Their work is vital – they’re looking for ways to prevent dementia and trying to find treatments to improve quality of life for people living with the disease. Finding a cure and eradicating the disease is the ultimate goal.

Volunteers Needed – Help Shape the Future of Primary Care in Canada
OurCare is a pan-Canadian conversation with everyday people about the future of primary care – and they’re coming to Manitoba! This research study is being led by Dr. Tara Kiran, a leading Canadian primary care researcher based at MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, with the generous input and support of many collaborators, including Health Canada and Even the Odds.
OurCare is looking for a diverse group of Manitoba residents with an interest in improving primary care in Canada to be a part of their Priorities Panel.
Why your input is important:
Though the average person living in Canada may not be a primary care expert, they are an expert in their own experience of our primary care system. To make our primary care system more accessible, equitable and sustainable for all, everyday people living in Canada need to have a say. They will share your recommendations with the federal and provincial governments and professional associations like the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
As a panelist, you will:
- Learn from OurCare’s experts about primary care in Manitoba
- Make recommendations on how to ensure the delivery of high-quality care for all residents of Canada
If interested, OurCare asks you to attend all of the following panel sessions:
- Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023, 12 – 4 pm (online)
- Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, 12 – 4 pm (online)
- Friday, Oct. 13, 2023, 4 – 8 pm (in Winnipeg)
- Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, 9 am – 8 pm (in Winnipeg)
- Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023, 9 am – 4 pm (in Winnipeg)
*OurCare will cover your expenses to join them in Winnipeg. Stipends are available to cover missed work if you need them.

The information gained may inform policy work that benefits caregivers in Manitoba, and thus may help other families in the future.
Participation in this research is fully confidential and involves individual interviews and a brief tour of the person’s home.
