Canuck Place Children's Hospice

Canuck Place Children’s Hospice is British Columbia and the Yukon’s pediatric palliative care provider. Over 800 children living with life-threatening illnesses and their families from five provincial health regions receive Canuck Place inpatient and community care (in home/in hospital). 

Canuck Place operates 13 patient beds and 8 family suites through two hospices in Vancouver and Abbotsford. Services include medical respite and family support, pain and symptom management, a 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 and our talented team, including over 370 volunteers, we care for children with short lives and the families who love them.

When Children and their families come to Canuck Place, the end of the story is already known. But the journey to get there has yet to be written. At Canuck Place we can't add days to the life of a child, but we can add life to their days.'

Join us and give short lives the gift of great days.
