Late April Canuck Place Children’s Hospice officially announced the opening of a new care bed to its clinical floor. Thanks to generous donors – Gary and Annie Santini, the bed was made possible.

The availability of this new bed will result in up to 100 more admissions per year of BC’s children with life-threatening illnesses. The additional bed means that Canuck Place will now operate 9 beds on its clinical floor – an expansion of service to meet growing need.

On behalf of the Volunteer Team at Canuck Place Children’s Hospice – “Thank You” to Kiehl’s Since 1851 for a wonderful Volunteer Appreciation Evening!

Leanne Freeman, Manager, Volunteer Services explains:

 “It was a memorable evening for Canuck Place Children’s Hospice on June 25th at the Vancouver, Robson Street Store location and volunteers enjoyed the food and wine, and also the expertise of the Kiehl’s Staff. It was helpful to have the knowledge and the time of the Staff to devote to the volunteer team in helping them to understand the quality of the products. We felt very privileged to learn that Canuck Place is only one of two non-profit organizations that Kiehl’s Since 1851 supports in all of Canada! Thank you for recognizing this group and the work they do to support the children and families on our program. Thank you offering to them the hospitality, expertise, and genuine heartfelt support of Kiehl’s Since 1851.”
