The Hospice Hub

We celebrated a beautiful milestone on Tuesday — our very first Day Hospice meal prepared by our brand-new Food Team volunteers! This amazing group poured so much heart into planning, prepping, and cooking a comforting lunch for our guests.

A huge shout-out as well to our community partner, The Falls Food Hub, for their mentorship and guidance as we launch this new program. Your support and shared expertise have helped us build a food experience rooted in dignity, comfort, and connection.

And behind every great meal is an incredible team of helpers who often go unnoticed, the grocery shoppers, kitchen cleaners, and everyone who keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. We see you, we appreciate you, and we could not do this without you.

This meal was more than food… it was community in action. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this first meal to life.

Today at Day Hospice, we honoured Remembrance Day by creating handmade poppies and taking time to remember those who served Canada with courage and sacrifice.

One of our wonderful volunteers delivered a powerful and moving rendition of In Flanders Fields, bringing quiet reflection to the room.

A simple, meaningful day together.

At Day Hospice this week, we explored the heart-warming theme of kindness. Together, we shared stories of the small gestures that can brighten someone’s day, and the gentle moments of care we can offer ourselves, too.

Our creativity sparked joy as we painted kindness rocks with hopeful messages to lift spirits for each other, for our community, and as reminders to be gentle with ourselves.

We also enjoyed soothing hand massages, a simple act of self-kindness that brought comfort, relaxation, and a few smiles along the way.
