CANUCK PLACE TO HOST BREAKFAST EVENT TO CELEBRATE THE EXPANSION OF SERVICES AT CANUCK PLACE – DAVE LEDE HOUSE IN ABBOTSFORD

 On Tuesday, June 5, 2018, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice will host donors, sponsors and supporters at A Breakfast with Friends at their second provincial location, Canuck Place – Dave Lede House in Abbotsford to celebrate the expansion of clinical services which now includes the opening of medical beds.

This event honours the cherished community of Canuck Place donors in the Fraser Valley who have made this expansion possible with a delicious home-cooked meal in the Canuck Place kitchen, an interactive panel discussion with the Canuck Place clinical team, as well as remarks from Mayor Henry Braun and a local Canuck Place family who recently received inpatient care at the hospice.

For the past few years, Canuck Place – Dave Lede House has operated much-needed outpatient and community services. This expansion includes inpatient care at the Abbotsford hospice with medical beds, as well as an increase in clinical consultations in the home to support families where they need it the most.
