ABACA is proud to be a supporter of Canuck Place, a story of courage and
vision, and a shining example of the good that comes from individuals and
organizations seeing a need in their community and working together to
fill it. In this case, there was a need to provide another care
option for children with life-limiting illnesses 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.
This vision became reality in November 1995 when Canuck Place opened in
Vancouver Canada, as North America's free-standing children's hospice.
To this day, it remains the model for children's hospices in North America
providing hospice care free of charge to children and their entire
families. Today, it is regarded as one of the leading children's
hospices in the world.
