A big thank-you to the Grade 3 and 4 students from Echo Place Elementary School who recently helped plant 400 bulbs in the gardens at Stedman Community Hospice. The class took part through the program, learning about gardening and giving back to the community.

We’re also grateful to the staff from Walters Greenhouses & Garden Centre - Diane, Erica and Lisa - who joined our volunteer team to share their horticultural expertise and lend a hand in the garden.

We look forward to seeing these bulbs bloom in the spring as a living reminder of what can grow through community partnerships and care. 🌷

Our recent Ingredients Initiative brought in 613 baking ingredient items thanks to the generosity of our community! These donations will help volunteers continue preparing baked goods for patients and families at Stedman Community Hospice.

A big thank-you to volunteers Donna and Michelle (pictured), along with Margaret and Dorothy for helping sort, date and organize the contributions, and to everyone who supported this effort and helped make home comforts possible for those in our care. 💙

In the final days, you may notice mottling, a marbled, purplish pattern that often appears on the skin. While this change can seem unfamiliar, it’s a natural part of the body’s process and doesn’t cause pain.

This is the final post in our series, created to help families better understand the natural changes that may occur at the end of life, and to offer gentle guidance during this time.

Meet two of the incredible caregivers at Stedman Community Hospice - Reanne, one of our nurses, and Carolyn, one of our PSWs.

Every day, they walk alongside patients and families with compassion, dignity and care, bringing comfort through life’s most difficult moments.

Reanne shared that what makes our hospice special is its atmosphere, a place of compassion and tranquility where patients and families feel truly supported and cared for. To her, it feels like a true home.

Carolyn reflected that what she finds most meaningful about palliative care is being with people at one of the most vulnerable times in their life. She says those connections often feel the most authentic and meaningful of all.

We’re so grateful for caregivers like Reanne and Carolyn, whose compassion and gentle presence bring peace and comfort to every family they support. 💙
