Gloria Taylor has taken her fight for the right to die to the Supreme Court of BC. We anticipate that it will come before the Supreme Court of Canada within two or three years. While cases are decided by court justices, they are influenced by the court of public opinion. Can you help Canadians obtain the right to die?
At Dying With Dignity we support the fight for the right to die, but we also do much more. We provide information about all legal end of life choices and options, and we educate the public about the importance of advance care plans and to ensure their wishes for end of life care are going to be followed.
If you'd like to be a private ambassador or public speaker for Dying With Dignity Canada, then this training is for you.

Terry Pratchett: Choosing To Die is a powerful and fascinating film, which explores the controversies and complications surrounding the issue of assisted suicide. The film will be followed by a presentation by Debby Hanscom (Dying With Dignity) and a discussion.
