(Animated Video) Dis-moi – Performed by Jessy Lindsay
The goal was to “highlight the importance of having these conversations and show that it doesn’t have to be seen as something that is difficult or overwhelming to talk about thanks to ACP’s streamlined and accessible approach” says Brendan Huza, producer of the video.
Tara Shannon and co-writer Hayley McLean penned the song ‘Dis-moi’ in support of Advance Care Planning in Canada’s #SpeakUp campaign. The lyrics encourage people across Canada and beyond our borders to have important conversations with their loved ones.
