Virtual Tour

Canuck Place in Vancouver is housed in a building called Glen Brae built in 1910 by a lumber baron named William Tait. As you walk up to the hospice you will find that Canuck Place is very much like a home. It is our desire to all the children and families to feel as much like they are at home as possible.

Inside the house, one of the first faces you see will be our receptionist, or one of our amazing volunteers.

Our  spacious Great Room hosts everything from staff meetings to our parent support groups.

In the Sun Room, you’ll often find kids playing video games, air hockey, or putting their imaginations to use in our playhouse.

At the heart of every home is the Kitchen, this is true at Canuck Place as well. On an ordinary day you will find children, siblings, parents, volunteers and staff all eating meals together.

Our first floor library contains books and helpful resources for children and adults, plus the sunny room is a great place to read.

Our music therapist will often help a child or family member write a song about what they are experiencing, or just have fun making music.

Both students on our program, and their siblings learn while they’re here, keeping up with their classes in our schoolroom.

The Snoezelen Room is a multi-sensory room with many different lights and sounds.

Kids get creative in our art room, with drawings, paint, and even clay.

Our volcano room, where anyone can yell, punch, and let off steam in a safe environment.

Our shared lounge between the family suites.
