Sunshine Coast Hospice

We support people with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones. We’re also working with VCH to open the Coast’s first residential hospice in 2026.

Through trained volunteers, we offer free grief, bereavement and advance care planning services. Coast Hospice has been providing compassionate care since 1987. Our volunteers offer companionship and bereavement support at home, in hospital and in comfortable private hospice rooms here on the Sunshine Coast. Hospice provides extensive volunteer training and support in bereavement and vigil care to allow us to continue to provide the best services possible. Together we make a difference; together we create a compassionate community.

✨ Celebrating Our Volunteers: A Heartfelt Gathering at Hospice House

One of the greatest highlights of our year has been the chance to recognize and celebrate our extraordinary volunteers! On Thursday, September 18th, the warmth and spirit of our compassionate coastal community came alive at Hospice House, where we gathered to honour those who make our mission possible.

Over a delicious meal lovingly prepared by volunteer Annie Rogers, laughter and stories filled the room as we reflected on another incredible year of service. With more than 90 volunteers giving their time and hearts, our community continues to shine bright with empathy and connection. 💙

🌸 Honouring Excellence: Volunteer Awards

We awarded six people with two awards this year: the Roey Award and the Heart of Hospice Award.

🏆 The Roey Award to Diane Head for her leadership, compassion, and remarkable work in expanding our grief support programs.

💙 The Heart of Hospice Award to Kate Jones, Kate Taylor, Emily Merrill, Jody Shaw, and Daniel Boileau for their extraordinary team effort in supporting a client at the end of life.

Thank you to all of our volunteers. Your compassion, presence, and dedication are the heartbeat of our community. We appreciate all that you do. 💛

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – Orange Shirt Day

We stand in solidarity with the Squamish and shíshálh Nations to honour and remember the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities forever impacted.

Coast Hospice recognizes that grief is not only personal—it is also collective and generational. We walk the path of reconciliation with humility, listening deeply to Indigenous voices, and acknowledging the truth of our shared history. All healing begins with truth and continues through connection, remembrance and respect. Today, we wear orange to remember.

shíshálh Nation community event for remembrance, reflection, and healing:

📍 Residential School Monument Site
🕚 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM | Commemoration Ceremony
🕧 12:30 – 1:00 PM | Walk for Reconciliation
🍽️ 1:30 PM | Community Feast at the shíshálh Nation Hall

🧡 Every Child Matters.

Grief does not follow a timeline, nor is it a linear experience. On National Grief Awareness Day, we honour every path and every step.

Our grief programs and services are here whenever you're ready. Whether it is a one-on-one companion, an eight-person grief group, grief counselling or a healing arts series, we are here for you. 💛💙

📞 Introducing The Sunshine Coast's First Wind Phone 📞
