Transformational Giving
Every child deserves compassionate care—help us reach them
Your generosity can give hope, care, and support
Canuck Place Children’s Hospice (CPCH) is BC and the Yukon’s pediatric palliative care provider, delivering essential care to children ages 0–19 with life-threatening illness and their families. Our specialized care eases suffering, improves quality of life, and supports children and families to be at home. For families who sadly experience the death of their child, Canuck Place bereavement support cares for them in their grief journey.
The demand for pediatric palliative care continues to rise. In the last decade, there has been a 61% increase in the number of children and families on program needing care. Yet, too many families still struggle without access to the care they need.
Through the generosity of donors, Canuck Place raises over 60% of the funds needed to provide this vital care – but we need to do more.
Our bold goal is to reach every family caring for a child with a life-threatening illness who needs help in BC and the Yukon – so no one walks this journey alone.
With your help, we can reach them. Join us in making this vision a reality.
Together, we can be there with infinite love for finite days.

Capital Improvements
Capital Improvements for Canuck Place Vancouver – Glen Brae Manor
Our Vancouver hospice location, Glen Brae Manor was built in 1910, nestled in the serene neighbourhood of Shaughnessy. When Canuck Place opened in 1995, the city of Vancouver rented the historic mansion to Canuck Place for $1 for a lease of 50 years. Ahead of caring for the very first patient, the 16,000 sq. ft. mansion was refurbished to deliver complex clinical care.
Now approaching 30 years of expert pediatric palliative care, our Vancouver hospice location needs an upgrade to ensure we can continue to meet the growing needs of medically complex children across the province.
