Membership

For over four decades, CCANS has stood as a cornerstone of support, education, and advocacy for members. Our diverse membership includes organizations from both the Department of Opportunities and Social Development and the Department of Seniors and Long-term Care. Operating at arm’s length from the government, we champion our members’ interests by recognizing their successes in care and bringing a collective voice to address the challenges they face.
