The Arrowsmith Health Care Society extends are grateful thanks for the investment the Y.P Heung Foundation has made to this Outdoor Event Space project; expanding our campus of care here in the heart of Parksville.
In 2023, we started fundraising to provide a space where tenants of Cokely Manor could gather together with residents of Arrowsmith Lodge and day program participants to expand their friendships and create joy through various activities and celebrations. A place where we could also invite the greater community in to share in these events and celebrations together.
In 2025, we laid the platform and pathways and started raising funds for a covered shelter.
With a budget of just over $202,000, it would have been a long haul to reaching that goal. However, with support from the Y.P. Heung Foundation, becoming a matching donor and completing the gap of $65,000, they brought us to the finish line of Phase 2!
Y.P. Heung subscribed to principles and values that can be summarized simply as the tenet of the “4 H’s”: Hard work, Honesty, Honour and, most importantly, Humility.
Since 2012, the Foundation set up in his name, have provided funding for medical research, the construction of new health-related facilities, and to smaller organizations like Arrowsmith dedicated to helping the more vulnerable members of our community.
