Happy First Weekend of 2026!

A new year is a fresh start — a chance to reflect, set intentions, and make a difference. As we welcome 2026, it’s the perfect time to think about how you can **bring kindness, comfort, and connection** to others.

💛 New Year, New Resolutions:
Consider making a resolution that touches the lives of others. At ABNW Palliative Care Society, there are so many ways to volunteer and make an impact:

Friendly Visitors – spend time with patients and bring warmth to their day
Pen Pals– connect through letters and messages to offer encouragement and companionship
Event Help – support our fundraising and community events that make care possible

Every act of care, big or small, creates meaningful moments. By volunteering, you’re not only helping others you’re building community, learning, and growing yourself.

✨ As you set your intentions for 2026, think about how you can make a difference in someone’s life. Whether it’s visiting, writing, or helping at events, there’s a place for you in our community.

🌱 This weekend, take a moment to reflect:

What do you hope to achieve this year?
How can you share compassion with others?
What small act of kindness can you commit to today?

Let’s step into 2026 with open hearts, warm hands, and a spirit of giving. Together, we can make this year one of connection, hope, and meaningful change.

🌟 What a Year 2025 Has Been — Together with ABNW 🌟

As 2025 draws to a close, we at Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society want to reflect on an incredible year of growth, community, and compassion. From meaningful milestones to warm gatherings — you helped make it all possible.

💚 2025 Highlights

We officially re‑branded from Grande Prairie Palliative Care Society to Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society — expanding our mission and reach to better serve communities across northwest Alberta.

We hosted our lively “Whiskey, Wine & Bites” fundraiser — a community‑wide event that brought people together, helped raise essential support, and underscored the power of coming together for care and compassion.

Through a fun and community‑spirited gathering, we took part in the KMSC Law LLP Co****le Charity Event — an opportunity to connect, raise awareness, and support our mission alongside local partners.

On November 25, 2025, we celebrated our grand reopening & ribbon‑cutting ceremony, unveiling our new name and renewed commitment to serving individuals and families throughout the region.

We were deeply honoured to receive the Circle of Care Grant, supporting initiatives that provide dignity, comfort, and care when it’s needed most.

We took part in the regional civic‑engagement event “Your Region, Your Voice”, helping to raise awareness about palliative care and connecting with community leaders — part of our ongoing effort to bring palliative care issues into local conversations.

We hosted the two‑day AHPCA Roadshow / “Palliative Care Training for the Community” in Valleyview and Spirit River — offering free, in‑person training to volunteers, caregivers, and community members to build capacity and compassionate care across rural and remote areas.

…and so much more!

From all of us at ABNW — thank you. Here’s to a new year filled with hope, kindness, and community. ✨

🎄 Christmas Eve — A Moment of Peace and Reflection

Tonight, as many gather with family, friends, or in quiet reflection, the Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society wants to honor those for whom this holiday season is tender — those living with serious illness, caring for a loved one, or navigating grief and loss.

Christmas Eve can bring joy, nostalgia, and connection — but it can also bring memories of those no longer with us, or the weight of caregiving responsibilities. We encourage you to give yourself permission to:
✨ Pause and breathe
✨ Reflect on moments of love, comfort, and care
✨ Reach out for support if you need it

Our Society is here — offering compassionate presence, resources, and support for patients, caregivers, and families throughout the holiday season.

💛 From our hearts to yours, we wish you warmth, peace, and gentle moments of light this Christmas Eve.

Reminder: We close for the holidays from noon today until Jan 5th.

Wow—what an incredible night! ✨
We were truly honoured to be part of the festivities at our friends’ Liberty Energy Christmas Party.

Thanks to the generosity of Liberty Energy and everyone who participated, the funds raised through their raffle will go directly toward supporting the vital programs at Alberta Northwest Palliative Care Society. 💙

We are so deeply grateful to the entire Liberty team for their kindness, support, and community spirit.
A very special thank you to Curtis, Shawn, and Soleil for helping make the evening so meaningful.
