Canuck Place Children's Hospice

Canuck Place Children's Hospice is BC and the Yukon's pediatric palliative care provider. When a child is seriously ill and may die before adulthood, families face overwhelming challenges. Canuck Place cares for over 946 children living with life-threatening illnesses and their families through two hospices in Vancouver and Abbotsford, with 10 patient beds and 8 family suites, and in-home, in-hospital, and virtual care. Services include in-hospice family medical respite, pain and symptom management, provincial 24-Hour Clinical Care Line, music and recreation therapy, education and art, grief, loss, and bereavement counselling, as well as end-of-life care. With donors, the Canuck Place Research Initiative, our talented team, patient-family partners, and over 346 volunteers, we care for children with short lives and families who love them. canuckplace.org
