Garnet Families Interactive Series: What about my family? Where do we fit?

Wednesday, April 9, 2025
11:00 am CST | 1:00 pm EDT

Garnet families come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, forms, and functions. We invite you to join Dr. Heidi Cramm and Dr. Deborah Norris for a conversation about the experiences and perspectives of families not as commonly represented including single parent serving families and dual-serving families.

While this is an open event and all are welcome, please note, registration is required. Information gathered from this event will play a vital role in growing a community that will serve and support Garnet families across Canada. Following the event, attendees will be asked to complete a survey to inform the format, frequency, and themes of future Garnet Families activities. This event is presented in English with the option of French subtitles.

We would like to acknowledge the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partnership Grant (What about the families? Strengthening a family’s research ecosystem for defence and public safety sectors) and the Medavie Foundation.

With panelists:

Dr. Heidi Cramm
Professor, School of Rehabilitation Therapy
Queen’s University

Dr. Deborah Norris
Professor, Department of Family Studies and Gerontology
Mount Saint Vincent University
