Every child deserves comfort, connection and the opportunity to make meaningful memories with the people they love.

On National Children’s Hospice Palliative Care Day, HPCO encourages equitable access to compassionate care for children with life-limiting illnesses, support for their families and caregivers, and grief and bereavement services when they are needed.

We honour the children and families at the heart of this care and thank the professionals and volunteers who walk alongside them.

On September 30, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, HPCO honours the children who never returned home from residential schools, Survivors, their families and communities.

We recognize the lasting impacts of residential schools and the importance of listening to First Nations, Inuit and Métis voices. In hospice palliative care, reconciliation includes supporting culturally safe care that respects each person’s identity, traditions and wishes.

Today and throughout the year, we encourage learning, reflection and meaningful action toward reconciliation.🧡
