Yes, death cafés are a way of making people aware and getting them more comfortable talking about end of life. In fact, our official languages program has developed a series of micro grants that serve to help people who want to create things like death cafés in order to encourage this kind of conversation. They would receive some funding through Health Canada in order to do that for official languages minority communities. Also, Pallium Canada has created kits for people who want to create compassionate communities, which would also help to focus attention on these discussions, as well as create community capacity to care for people at the end of life.
