MessaGe FRoM oUR

BoaRd ChaiR and

oUR Ceo

at Canuck place Children’s hospice, our children and families live

with courage. for many of them, their lives are measured not by

years, or units of time – but by moments.

we are grateful for your support and dedication to Canuck

place as it enables us to create truly extraordinary moments

for children and their families across British Columbia. The

2011–2012 fiscal year was full of moments like these for our

organization, and we are proud to share these successes with you

in our annual report.

our vision at Canuck place is to provide comfort and care to

every child and family facing a life-threatening illness in BC.

with the help of many investing in pediatric palliative care, we

accomplished our goal of raising $13 million for our second

hospice in abbotsford, including a contribution of $3 million from

the province of BC.

Canuck place Children’s hospice, abbotsford, will be housed

within the dave lede Campus of Care. This second facility’s lead

donor is the dave lede family Charitable foundation. Canuck

place abbotsford will double our current capacity with 10 beds

and five family suites. Construction is progressing well and we

look forward to completion of the facility in late 2013. The next

phase will include raising operating capital to support two loca-

tions and better serve the growing need for pediatric palliative

care for children and families across our province.

we extend our immense gratitude to all of our donors, sponsors

and partners whose commitment to Canuck place allows us

to continue delivering quality pediatric palliative care that is

recognized the world over. The lives of our children and families

are touched every day by the dedicated investment you make

in our programs. our nurses, physicians, therapists, counsellors

and our entire staff extend deepest thanks as your donations help

them deliver care to the children and families we serve.

we thank our extended family at the Vancouver Canucks,

including the Canucks for kids fund, for their many significant

contributions. we also thank the aquilini family and the

Vancouver Canucks management, staff, coaches, players and

their families for their dedication.

The journey continues as we move toward a future where all

children and families in BC can receive care in their greatest time

of need and a home where their courage is fostered. you are part

of this journey, and you help us create moments that count. we

are honoured to have your support.

with gratitude,

John roSe

MargareT MCneil

“The lives of our children and families are touched

every day by the dedicated

investment you make in our programs.”

THE THOMAS FAMILY “Through loving support, encouragement,

empowerment and mentoring the Canuck place family guided

us through our son’s medical changes with respite, adaptive

thinking for recreation, preparatory grief, sibling grief support,

palliative care and bereavement for our dying son, ourselves and

our extended family. while at Canuck place, we were able to

surrender to grieving and celebrate kaden while he was still here

with us.”

THE MENZEL FAMILY “Canuck place became the light in one of

the darkest times of our lives. our son, alex Menzel, had Menkes

disease, and Canuck place helped us make sense of all the care

he would need and the reality that he was going to pass away.

from the volunteers and kitchen staff, to the nurses, doctors and

counselors, it felt like our family grew. alex passed away peace-

fully at Canuck place on november 4th, 2011. There is no other

place we would have rather been at that moment.”

THE JONES FAMILY “our daughter hailey has daily health chal-

from the beautiful surroundings of a home like setting, to cutting

edge research on how to deal with pain management and coun-

seling services for ourselves as a couple and for our seven-year-

old son dawson. we have found a safe place to rest and renew,

dawson has found a fun place to play with other kids and volun-

teers, and hailey now experiences a better quality of life because

of this amazing place. Thank you!”

MATT COX, CHERIE EHLERT AND CHARLIE-ANNE “as parents of

a child with Spinal Muscular atrophy, we feel very fortunate to

be on the Canuck place program. it’s a great source of support

and respite, especially after long hospital stays with our daughter.

Charlie-anne loves it there as well — she gets to participate in

great social activities, play in a comfortable surrounding, and of

course, snack on the famous cookies! as a family we feel at ease

every time we walk through the doors, and truly think of it as

home while we’re there.”

CANUCk PLACE VOLUNTEERS

Canuck place Children’s hospice is truly

fortunate to have some of the most dedicated,

passionate and caring volunteers as part of

our family. hilary oswald has been a family

Volunteer and a member of the “Thursday

dream Team” since december 2005. here she tells us why she

continues to support Canuck place:

“i support Canuck place Children’s hospice because nowhere

else can you find the indomitable spirit of the kids who attend Cp.

The ‘wee folk’ know the essence of life: ‘what is essential in life

is invisible to the eye and can only be seen by the heart.’ Their

courage, perseverance and ability to ‘live in the moment’ is a

lesson to us all. all volunteers receive 1,000,000 times more than

they give! Cp is the most unique family on earth.”

thank you, hilary, and all of our 350+ volunteers for

everything you do.

NURSING STAFF

place, children and families are tightly connected

“i have had so many meaningful, memorable moments working with

this amazing organization that it’s hard to single out any one! every

child, baby and family ... every laugh and smile ... every death ...

they have all left a memory in my heart. how could they not.”

thank you to all our nursing staff for being courage builders.

CANUCk PLACE kITCHEN STAFF

The kitchen is often called the heart of a home, and at Canuck

place Children’s hospice, it really is. our kitchen nourishes

bodies, souls and spirits. we are grateful to our dedicated kitchen

staff for the warmth and care they provide through the meals

they cook for our children and families.

amadeo “i love to make dishes that will

comfort the families and staff. it’s my way of

helping with the difficult times.”

Roxanna “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a smile

on a child or parent’s face when you make their favourite cookies

or meals. Smiles say everything without saying anything.”

Roberto “i hope the food i make — everyone enjoys, especially

the kids. when they smile, i know it’s okay.”

dawn “i have worked in the heart of this house for over twelve

years and along the way have met many special people. There

have been hugs, some tears, but lots of laughs and smiles along

the way. food doesn’t just feed the body — it nourishes the soul.”

REPORT FROM THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE

individuals and corporations throughout BC have contributed generously to allow

Canuck place to provide pediatric palliative care services to the children and

families of British Columbia. donations from individual estates in the form of

bequests have increased significantly which has provided Canuck place the ability

to continue providing the same service levels as in previous years. fiscal 2011-12

was not without challenges. Canuck place met the challenge of raising additional

donations to make up decreases in annual giving and corporate partnership giving,

as well as decreases in government grants for operations. we remain focused on

sound financial stewardship and growing the development group within Canuck

place to allow us to meet the annual needs of children and families in British

Columbia.
