✨ Hospice Member Introduction ✨

My name is Valerie and I'm the Volunteer Coordinator for the Vanderhoof Hospice Society. I was born and raised in Vanderhoof, went to university at UVic and UBC, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy. I returned to Vanderhoof in the year 2000 to raise my own family. I joined the Vanderhoof Hospice Society's board soon after my return and applied for the Volunteer Coordinator position in 2015. In 2017, we opened the Willow Suite at Stuart Nechako Manor in partnership with Northern Health, a space for families to stay with their loved ones who need nursing care.

The past 11 years have been very rewarding, with many opportunities to help people through the last days, weeks, and months of their lives by connecting them with our caring volunteers. Training the volunteers is a wonderful experience, with lasting relationships built on a mutual desire to help people at a very vulnerable time of life. I enjoy meeting with clients, matching them with volunteers, and supporting both as needed. Working for Hospice is very meaningful to me and I appreciate all the connections I've made.

The Vanderhoof Hospice Society would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Vanderhoof Community Foundation for their generous support of our Comfort & Connection Project.

Because of this funding, we are able to continue creating warm, welcoming spaces and meaningful experiences that bring comfort, dignity, and connection to individuals and families navigating end-of-life journeys and grief.

While we are based in Vanderhoof, we are proud to support families throughout our region, including Fraser Lake and the surrounding communities.

We are incredibly grateful to the Vanderhoof Community Foundation for investing in the health and well-being of our communities. Your generosity truly makes a lasting difference.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out and participated in our Hike for Hospice on Sunday, May 3rd here in Vanderhoof 💚

We had a wonderful turnout and were truly touched by the level of community support. Seeing so many people come together in support of hospice care means more than we can put into words.

Not only was it a beautiful day to connect, walk, and reflect, but it also helped bring awareness to what hospice is and the care and comfort we strive to provide within our community. As we move through the Month of Hospice, we’re grateful for the opportunity to share more about the support, compassion, and dignity hospice offers to individuals and families.

Thank you again to everyone who walked, supported, and stood beside us — your presence makes a difference 🤍

National Palliative Care Week begins next week.

At Hospice Wellington, this week is a time to recognize the compassion, dignity, and connection that define palliative care. It’s about walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most meaningful moments—offering comfort, support, and a reminder that no one is alone.

Our Circle of Care includes nurses, physicians, personal support workers, counsellors, volunteers, and our wider community. Together, we create space for people to live fully, right to the end of life, and to grieve with support and understanding.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing stories, reflections, and ways you can be part of this important work.

Because palliative care is not just about end of life—it’s about quality of life, every step of the way.

Hello everyone! 👋

I think we’re a little overdue for a board member introduction—so here I am!

My name is Sonya Webster, and I’m the Vice President of the Vanderhoof Hospice Society, as well as the person behind our social media.

I’ve been involved with hospice on and off since 2019. My passion comes from a strong belief in community—that it truly takes a village, and it’s up to all of us to look out for one another. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or showing up in a big way when it matters most, it all makes a difference.

Many of you may know me through my work, the rodeo world, or just as a busy mom. This community is home to me, and being part of hospice has been such a meaningful way to give back.

In my free time, I enjoy a small homesteading lifestyle—you’ll often find me with my goats, my horse, or my daughter. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, out on the farm, or with my best friend Miranda. Together, we’re raising our kids the same way we were raised—grounded in community, hard work, and looking out for others.

I also wanted to take a moment to say how incredibly grateful I am. The support for our Willow Suite has been absolutely amazing. Because of YOU, we are fully sponsored for the remainder of 2026—without even needing to reach out to local businesses.

That kind of generosity speaks volumes about the heart of our community.

It never ceases to amaze me how our small towns show up for one another. 💛

Thank you for your kindness, your support, and for believing in what we do. From all of us at the Vanderhoof Hospice —we appreciate you more than words can say.
