Community Death Care Project

Promotes conversation and understanding around death and dying. Public awareness events are site specific, meant to address those connected to the Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and Chinatown areas. The project is meant to increase social connections, information sharing and capacity building around choice, dignity, and autonomy for end-of-life planning. Programs and activities are delivered out of Carnegie Community Centre and include online options. Virtual programming will provide translation in languages in addition to spoken English, auto generated closed captioning in English, and creation of transcripts and audio recordings for people whose lives may include barriers to accessing virtual activities. Co-developed and facilitated by the Carnegie Community Centre and Vancouver Public Library
