National Children's Hospice Palliative Care Day
Every child living with a serious illness deserves access to compassionate, high-quality hospice palliative care, and every family deserves to be supported throughout their journey. The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA), in partnership with Canada’s Pediatric Palliative Care Alliance, has launched the Short Lives Can’t Wait campaign to raise awareness of the urgent need for equitable access to children’s hospice palliative care across Canada. | New Provincial Report: Building the Missing Pathway for Hospice Palliative Care in BC
The BC Hospice Palliative Care Association (BCHPCA) has released a new provincial report, Building the Missing Pathway for Hospice Palliative Care in British Columbia, calling for stronger integration, planning, and sustainable investment in hospice palliative care across the province. For more than 40 years, hospice societies have supported individuals and families through serious illness, caregiving, grief, bereavement, and end-of-life care. Today, hospice societies across BC collectively support approximately 120,000 service interactions annually while contributing significant value to communities and the broader health system. The report highlights growing pressures related to aging populations, fragmented funding structures, inequities in rural and remote communities, and opportunities to strengthen coordinated provincial planning for hospice palliative care. | Canada ranks below expectations in new global palliative care report
According to the 2025 World Map of Palliative Care Development, published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, Canada sits in the “Established” category, 8th in the Americas and 51st worldwide. Curious how we measure up? |

The BC Hospice Palliative Care Association (BCHPCA) recognizes the traditional land of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples who have walked before us and minded the lands we now call home for time immemorial. Hospice Societies have been able to support, aid and care for many people on these same lands. The BCHPCA Offices are located on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and TsleilWaututh Nations.
