Local Chapter
The Niagara Region Chapter of Dying With Dignity Canada (DWDC) was created in 2016 by a small group of volunteers whose hard work launched a series of well-attended seminars on Advance Care Planning. The Niagara Region Chapter has been slowly organizing itself, working with our national office to maximize our presence and our offerings. We have many small and unique communities within our region and we look forward to bringing information, presentations and workshops to them. We are also looking forward to working with organizations, associations, congregate facilities, etc., to strengthen the web of resources that our community residents can easily access.

"In My Own Time" is a documentary that looks at what it means to die on one’s own terms, using first-hand accounts from people across Canada.
As the pandemic loosens its hold, our Chapter is looking for opportunities to provide presentations and workshops. We do recognize that there are still challenges with public health restrictions and so are able to work remotely via video conferencing as well as holding limited in-person events.
