Honouring the children, families, and caregivers who inspire care that counts every day

Many of us associate hospice palliative care with adults and seniors, but children and youth with life-limiting illnesses need that same comfort, compassion, and connection too.

Celebrating 40 Years of Hospice Palliative Care

This year marks BCHPCA’s 40th anniversary, and we invite you to watch a special tribute video honouring the people, places, and stories that have shaped hospice palliative care across BC and the Yukon.
The video was featured during our Annual General Meeting 40th Anniversary Celebration, held on July 17, 2025. The event included:
  • Opening remarks and land acknowledgement by Pablita Thomas, Executive Director, BCHPCA
  • Greetings from Parliamentary Secretary Susie Chant and MLA & Health Critic Anna Kindy
  • A province-wide data presentation by Adam Webber, BCHPCA
  • A personal story of access and impact shared by Courtney Eso

I wished there were a place for gracious dying.

A high place with a distant view. Where we could gather for a celebration of life and death and friendship, old and new.
I’d like a place where there would be good music, good food and wine – and laughter, games and fun –
And quiet talk with friends and good discussion of what will happen when this life is done.

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.
