Canuck Place Children's
Hospice
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.
