The dog days of summer (or spring 😉) have arrived at Huron Hospice!
"Russell" paid a visit to a family member today and reminded us of the importance of rest and relaxation.
All pets are a welcome addition to Huron Hospice if vaccinated and leashed/crated when in public spaces.

We are opening a thrift store in Bayfield. As most of you know, the province funds hospices in Ontario at about 50%. We count on the generosity of the community to donate the other $700,000 we need each year in order to provide our services at no charge. Please
see the article in the Bayfield Breeze this week to learn about the thrift store we are opening in July as a social enterprise in support of Huron Hospice. We are looking for volunteers to work in the store and we hope you will save goods for donation that we will start receiving in June.

Over the winter, we have been busy, and we wanted to share some of our work with you. We have created a new logo and updated our website. www.huronhospice.ca

Our logo now includes the tagline “moments matter” and reflects what our nursing and volunteer team at the Hospice, our home support and respite volunteers, and our loss and grief team do every day.

We want families to focus on being families for those important final days and hours, or when they are learning how to manage a loss. We call those times moments, and they really do matter.

We felt it was time to refresh our website. We want it to reflect all the ways we work with individuals and their families. We want to make it easy for generous donors to continue to support Huron Hospice.

Please take a look at the logo on our new website at
