ABSTRACT
SUMMARY. Important Canadian factors are discussed to obtain a profile of this country, its communities, and family trends. The challenges for Canadian families are presented and include the sandwich generation, seniors, effects of divorce and remarriage, and same-sex marriages. A review of existing studies related to the strengths of Canadian families is included. The need for families to be strengthened has led to a variety of social supports available to the families of Canada. doi:10.1300/ J002v41n03_03 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Deliveiy Service: 1 –800-HAWORTH.
