Petro-Canada CareMakers Foundation has opened applications for grant funding for programs that strengthen support for caregivers.

The charity was established in 2020 to create awareness and understanding of the issue of family care giving in Canada.

The Thompson Seniors Community Resource Council previously received grant funding to help support their food hamper program.

CareMakers says one in four Canadians is a caregiver for someone with a long-term health condition, disability, or need related to aging at some point in their lives.
