Canuck Place Childrens Hospice

In November 1995, Canuck Place was opened as the first free standing childrens hospice in North America to provide care for children with life-threatening illness and their families - an option that would give families the added flexibility to access hospice care when hospital or home care could no longer meet their needs. Today, it continues to care to over 400 children and teens and it is recognized globally as a leader in pediatric palliative care sharing knowledge, expertise. Currently, Canuck Place plans to build another house in Abbotsford to accommodate growing needs. Your attendance and generous donation will be devoted to each of the Canuck Place houses.
