Compassionate Communities Evaluation Toolkit

Currently in development, the Evaluation Toolkit will help Compassionate Communities measure the impact of their initiatives, share learning and results, and engage in discussions to help translate knowledge into action.

The Evaluation Toolkit is being developed by the Pan-Canadian Compassionate Community Evaluation Project, a collaborative effort between the BC Centre for Palliative Care, Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, and Pallium Canada.
