We were pleased to have two special podcast episodes in September and October with Tracy Slaney and Heather Mulligan.
Tracy Slaney is an amazing advocate and caregiver in Newfoundland and Labrador. Heather Mulligan is from Canadian Cancer Society Advocacy unit in Atlantic Canada.
We have had cozy and very informative chats about what it means to be an advocate, and how organizations like Canadian Cancer Society are helping with advocating/lobbying the governments for change. One recent example is extension of unpaid sick leave and job protection in Nova Scotia.
We hope to see similar changes in other Atlantic Canada provinces, including Newfoundland and Labrador.
