It is December already!

As we enter the last month of 2024, it's a great time to pause and reflect on the year. It is always amazing what we have been able to achieve, none of which would be possible with the support and commitment of our donors and volunteers.

The strength of the PCSBV comes from our work in the community through our volunteers who have generously committed over 6,500 hours to support our Bow Valley community. Presently, we have 90 volunteers mobilized in the community, supporting our 53 current active clients.

2024 has also been a busy year for us planning our new Centre for Palliative Care and Hospice in Canmore. I am excited to say that the design of the building is almost complete, and what a beautiful space it will be for our community. Our goal is to break ground in Spring 2025, and we continue to raise funds so that we can begin construction as soon as we are able. I look forward to sharing regular updates with you throughout the year.

As we come to the end of the year, many of you are considering your end of year donations. With the current postal strike, we have included alternatives to how you can give to PCSBV this year.

And for those giving early, your donation will be matched!

We welcome self-referrals.

We know that the time over the holidays can be challenging for those facing a life-changing illness and grief. We will continue to provide support to those who need it over the holidays during our normal business hours.
