Help us achieve our mission.
At some point we all face the end of life, ourselves and our loved ones. Death touches us all, the young, and the old. Cancer or some other life threatening illness will inevitably come into our lives: when it does we can only hope that we are met with the compassionate care that is provided by a Palliative Hospice.
This is where death will not be hastened nor life prolonged. Comfort and relief of suffering will be achieved. Giving dignity and offering the very best quality of life during the final stages is our goal.
Those who remain are not forgotten. The Burnaby Hospice Society continues to support families and friends through illness and into the grieving process.
“I want to thank the Burnaby Hospice Society, it’s Board, volunteers, staff and donors for the important and dedicated service to our community, in providing support and counselling to patients and their families during the end of life journey. On a personal note, my family and I are so grateful that you were there providing comforting assistance when we needed it the most.”
- Kathy Corrigan

Burnaby Hospice Society is offering the opportunity to support our community and become a sponsor for the 2019 Hike for Hospice Burnaby on Sunday, May 5, 2019 at Central Park, Burnaby. Hike for Hospice Burnaby is a public family event open to anyone in the Burnaby and surrounding area. Participants gather to hike, walk, or wander around central park in support of the Burnaby Hospice Society and the critical work we do in providing compassionate care to individuals and families during the end-of-life journey.
All proceeds from the event go directly to supporting and raising awareness of Burnaby Hospice Society and its hospice palliative care and bereavement support programs which are offered at no cost to Burnaby residents and their families and friends. Last year our Palliative Program served over 1000 families.
The Hike for Hospice Burnaby is associated with the national Hike for Hospice Palliative Care that is coordinated by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association, the national organization that provides leadership in hospice palliative and end-of-life care in Canada.
