Your ticket purchase supports exceptional care for Canuck Place children and families across BC and the Yukon

Canuck Place is a home away from home. When a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, parents and caregivers are faced with intensified 24-hour responsibility. The Canuck Place medical respite program allows children the opportunity to receive in-hospice clinical care for complex illnesses, pain and symptom management, recreation therapy and counselling, while their families receive much-needed rest, renewal, and support. Through multiple stays in the hospice, our knowledge increases, and we can better understand a child’s evolving symptoms and medical history, as well as individual family needs.

Thank you to our sponsors

 

About Canuck Place Children’s Hospice

Our team of physicians, nurses, counsellors, therapists, staff, and volunteers provide medical respite care, pain and symptom management, a provincial 24-hour clinical care line, art, music, and recreation therapy, end-of-life care, grief, loss, and bereavement counselling in our Vancouver and Abbotsford hospices and in communities across BC and Yukon. All at no cost to the families.

We are here with love, care, and guidance when and where families need us the most. Your ticket purchase today will help make this care possible.
