Whether a life is measured in days, weeks or months, children deserve the opportunity to
learn, develop and grow.
Canuck Place Children’s Hospice is British Columbia’s pediatric palliative care provider,
delivering care to over 500 children and families facing life-threatening illnesses
across the province. Our specialized programs and services include respite and family support, pain and symptom management, 24-hour province-wide
phone consultation support and in-house clinical care, art and education, recreation
therapy, grief and loss counselling including music and play therapy, and end-of-life care. With caring, professional staff , and
over 300 volunteers, Canuck Place is a place for children and families to come in their
greatest time of need.
COURAGE LIVES HERE…
COURAGE. COMPASSION. CONTRIBUTE.
It takes courage to live in the moment and compassion to guide children with life-
threatening illnesses and families through life-altering challenges. For almost two
decades Canuck Place Children’s Hospice (CPCH) celebrates the moments of living
and provides care for families on an impossible journey.
We are thankful for the incredible community that surrounds us – your dollars, time,
and dedication to Canuck Place have allowed us to thrive, bringing hope to new-
borns, children, teens and families. You are our Courage Builders, and we are proud
to share successes with you in the 2012-2013 Annual Report.
Each year we provide specialized pediatric palliative care to over 500 children living
with life-threatening illnesses and their families from across British Columbia. CPCH
operates 24-hours a day, 7 days a week with over 100 FT/PT sta� supported by over
300 volunteers and thousands of contributions from citizens and organizations
across BC.
As BC’s recognized pediatric palliative care provider in the Child Health Tiers of
Service Framework, we look forward to opening the doors at our second facility
located in Abbotsford within the Dave Lede Campus of Care. Canuck Place — Dave
Lede House — Abbotsford is completing construction and we are very grateful to the
community of donors who have supported the capital project and growth of critical
pediatric palliative care services provided by Canuck Place.
Verifying the Abbotsford building safety and systems will occur through to January
2014 and we will then begin community services through the new facility. That
means consultation visits by physicians, nurses and counsellors in hospitals and
homes, individual and group grief and loss support, and recreational therapy for
children registered in the program.
We still have work ahead. Our team is working hard to furnish the hospice – from
hospital beds to medical equipment to kitchen appliances. Donors like you provide
80% of the funds required to operate medical and nursing sta� 24 hours-per-day,
grief and loss counselling including music and play therapy, art, education, recre-
ation therapy, visiting consultation services to hospital and community and 24-hour
province-wide phone support.
We extend warm gratitude to all of our donors, supporters, partners and friends,
whose generosity and commitment to Canuck Place never cease to amaze us.
Because of you, our children and families get to live in this moment.
We are closer to a future where all families in BC can receive the medical and
emotional care they need to face life’s greatest challenge: losing a child to a life-
threatening illness. We are here because of you. On behalf of our children and
families, and those we will serve in the future – thank you.
With gratitude,

THE HADIKIN FAMILY The pain and
symptom management program at
Canuck Place has helped keep Madelyn
Hadikin out of the hospital. Her parents,
Krystal and Michael, and brother Declan,
also access respite programs at the
house, where they’ve met other families
who are going through the same chal-
lenges they are. “Canuck Place is our
fi rst call when something is not right,”
said Krystal. “They’re available 24/7.”
When it comes to Maddy’s condition,
Krystal and Michael try to take it one day
at a time. “Our little girl is dealing with a
lot of pain right now — some days are
good, some days are bad,” Krystal said.
THE SIDHU FAMILY is in many ways,
like any other family in BC. Mom
Amanda and dad Robert have three
children, Sean, 13, Brittany, 10, and
Kaitlyn, 5. They live in Mission, where
Sean is an accomplished hockey player
and Brittany loves to swim and do arts
and crafts. Both enjoy spending time
with their little sister Kaitlyn — and vice
versa!
The youngest Sidhu has had to endure
the most in her short life. Kaitlyn was
diagnosed at birth with a rare life-threat-
ening condition called semilobar holo-
prosenchephaly, meaning that her brain
is not fully formed which makes every
day life very challenging for both her and
her family. She has also undergone several
rounds of extensive chemotherapy to
treat cancer.
With two other children to care for,
Amanda and Robert have been stretched
to the limit. “Kaitlyn is only fi ve, but she’s
spent almost half her life in the hospital,”
said Amanda. “This meant our family
was living apart, until we were welcomed
into Canuck Place, where the clinical
team does everything possible to help
Kaitlyn. Canuck Place literally saved our
family from a very di� cult time.”
With the help of Canuck Place, Amanda,
Robert, Sean, Brittany and Kaitlyn can,
for a few moments, enjoy time together
like any other BC family. “Walking into
Canuck Place is like walking into a whole
other world,” said Amanda. “It’s a home
fi lled with love that comes from the
hearts of everyone inside. Canuck Place
saved us, and we have so much grati-
tude and relief. There’s really nowhere
else we can go for this kind of care.
Thank you.”
“In our experiences outside of Canuck
Place care — the specialists look at
Maddy as the patient and then prescribe.
Canuck Place has a very di� erent ap-
proach — they look at Maddy the person
and they look at our family and how we
all need to be included in the approach
to her care. The care team at Canuck
Place understands that when Maddy is
in pain, the whole family feels it.”
Krystal and Michael’s lives are a juggling
act, but Canuck Place has been a life-
saving resource for them — particularly
being able to access the 24-hour phone
consultation line. “It is very di� cult to
watch your little girl and not know how
to help her with seizures and her pain,”
said Krystal. “Things always go sideways
on weekends and holidays and to see
her struggle is very challenging. When
we call the 24-hour hotline, I don’t have
to wait and our family gets the support
we need to make it through di� cult sit-
uations. The clinical team knows Maddy,
our family and her medical challenges.
Canuck Place is constantly working with
us to make adjustments as Maddy’s con-
dition changes and evolves.” This kind of
support has helped Krystal focus more
on being Maddy’s mom.

THE BRINTON FAMILY Tyler Brinton
was born with severe brain damage. He
started having seizures shortly after his
birth and it was determined after many
tests and an MRI that he had severe
brain damage and would not make it.
His parents, Marni and Iain, were devas-
tated and alone, and that was when they
were invited to spend their last days with
their son at Canuck Place. “It was here
THE GILKYSON FAMILY Greg and
Karen Gilkyson had been married for
over 10 years when they fi nally were
able to welcome their son, Kairo, in July
2010. He was born after the loss of three
devastating miscarriages. So when they
found out they were expecting again,
they were overjoyed to have another
successful and healthy pregnancy.
Unfortunately, everything went horribly
wrong at birth and perfectly healthy little
Stella Marie was deprived of oxygen
that we were able to create the memo-
ries we will cherish forever,” Marni re-
members. After Tyler passed away, Marni
and Iain took part in the bereavement
program and saw a counsellor for some
one-on-one sessions, and eventually at-
tended the bereaved parents’ group.
Since then the Brintons have become
true Canuck Place advocates — donat-
ing monthly and participating in the an-
nual Hustle for Canuck Place fundraiser.
Marni has even become a member of
the Family Advisory Council, providing
feedback and input on Canuck Place
programs from a bereaved parent’s
point of view. “Being able to share our
grief with other parents who had been
down the same path helped us more
than we ever thought it could,” said
Marni. “We will never be able to put into
words what Canuck Place means to us,
and we will spend every waking hour,
sharing with anyone who will listen, just
how important Canuck Place is and how
much it changed our lives.”
for nearly an hour. “We still hoped and
prayed that our baby girl would breathe
on her own and survive, but received
a prognosis when she was 13-days old
that said otherwise,” said Karen. “That is
when we were introduced to Canuck
Place by physicians.” The Gilkysons then
made the choice to move to Canuck
Place for end-of-life care for Stella. They
felt in their hearts that this would be
best thing for her — and it was.
“Canuck Place made the unimaginable
a really beautiful experience,” Karen re-
calls. “Stella Marie left this world peace-
fully and we believe that it is because of
Canuck Place that she truly got to feel
how much she was loved, without the
interruption of a hospital environment.“
Canuck Place was Stella’s last home and
continues to be a positive infl uence in
the Gilkyson’s lives. “The counsellors
helped us see the beauty in life and in
death and to really cherish the moments
that we are given and the importance
of family. We are forever grateful for all
that Canuck Place did and continues to
do for us.”

DAVE LEDE + THE DAVE LEDE FAMILY FOUNDATION
Ledcor Chairman and Chief Executive
O� cer Dave Lede is a longtime sup-
porter, partner and friend of Canuck
Place Children’s Hospice and British
Columbia’s children and families. Mr.
Lede supports building strong com-
munities and understands families need
support through life-altering challenges
like the diagnosis of a child with a life-
threatening illness.
Mr. Lede fi rmly believes that companies
and individuals have a responsibility to
give back to the community and pro-
mote a strong spirit of giving. Mr. Lede,
through the Dave Lede Family Founda-
tion and Ledcor, has been the driving
force behind the Dave Lede Campus of
Care, home of Canuck Place Children’s
Hospice in Abbotsford.
The Dave Lede Family Foundation has
a long history of supporting pediatric
initiatives across North America. The
Foundation is a philanthropic innovator
CANUCKS FOR KIDS FUND
When you walk around the fl oors of
Canuck Place Children’s Hospice you
see evidence of the support and con-
nection to the Vancouver Canucks
Hockey Team. There is Trevor Linden’s
signed jersey on the wall; a Canuck
Place child’s project on the Sedin twins
in the third fl oor school room; the beau-
tiful quilts with the Canucks logo on the
patient beds on the second fl oor clinical
rooms and through glass of the elevator
you see the recreational van donated by
the Canucks Alumni.
in BC, making a remarkable di� erence
through investing in projects and
programs that build better infrastructure
and foundational change.
Ledcor’s generosity has touched count-
less families across the province as well
as the lives of its own employees and
families. Now, Mr. Lede’s contributions
will have a positive impact on children,
and the families of children, who face
life-threatening illnesses through the
programs and care delivered from Ca-
nuck Place’s second provincial facility,
Dave Lede House.
The Dave Lede Family Foundation is also
supporting Campus of Care partners Ab-
botsford Hospice and Matthews House.
On behalf of the newborns, children,
teens, families and sta� at Canuck
Place, thank you Mr. Lede and Ledcor
employees for your legacy and for be-
ing a Change Maker for Canuck Place
Children’s Hospice.
Over the last 18 years the Canucks
for Kids Fund (formerly the Canucks
Foundation) has given back to Canuck
Place with over $28 million to support
the operation of pediatric palliative care
for newborns, children and teens with
life-threatening illness and their families
from all over BC.
Canucks Sports & Entertainment em-
ployees give back each year, provid-
ing countless hours of volunteer time
through an initiative called “Live2Give”.
Over 40 sta� share their time and ener-
gy at the Hospice to put up the holiday
lights and literally light up the lives for
children and family.
This long-term commitment has
positively impacted the awareness
of the work of Canuck Place and the
children who are cared for from time
of diagnosis through to end of life, or
when the child turns age 19. Canuck
Place provides care for the child and
family, often for years. As the child’s
medical condition changes over time,
the physician and clinical team provide
the necessary care and support to
this group of children with highly-
specialized medical and care needs.
Thanks Canucks for Kids Fund for being
a Change Maker for Canuck Place. Go
Canucks Go!
Thank you Canucks for
Kids Fund for your longtime
support and commitment
to children and families.

individuals and organizations that
put awareness into action through a
200-kilometre road bike ride from Hope
to South Surrey in July each year. Also
supporting the Ride for Hope is the
annual Homelife Charity Golf Classic.
The ride is an amazing sight. A peloton
of over 50 riders wearing bright blue
and white is supported by London
Drugs and Team Zinetti riders.
The funds raised are designated
through the Canucks for Kids Fund
to Canuck Place and invested in pain
and symptom management, respite
and family support, counselling, art,
education, music and recreation therapy
and end-of-life care.
At the fi nish-line barbecue this year
at Morgan Crossing, Canuck Place
teen Alisa Silvestre met the riders
and shared the gratitude felt by sta� ,
children and families at Canuck Place
for the tremendous contributions of
the Ride4Hope team. Many thanks
to Bandura, Team Zinetti, Homelife,
London Drugs and Canucks Alumni and
Canucks Mascot Fin.

This fall Zach heard about the Adventure
Challenge for Kids race at Jericho and
decided he would join his friends in rais-
ing funds for Canuck Place and compet-
ing in sailing, trail biking and a run. Zach
raised over $150 for Canuck Place but
the lesson he has really learned is how
to support others who need help and
to have compassion for kids who have
life-threatening illnesses.
Zach crossed the fi nish line at the
Adventure Challenge for Kids tired but
proud. The best gift besides receiving
his fi nishers medal was being greeted by
one of his hockey heroes, Trevor Linden.
Thanks Zach for helping kids at
Canuck Place.
IT TAKES A COMMUNITY
Donor Spotlight – Dewdney Pub
The Historic Dewdney Pub had its
start as a church in 1912 and survived
a fl ood in 1948 and now it’s known as
the Church of the Blues where patrons
gather and support Canuck Place. Every
Thursday and Saturday, the pub puts
on bingo nights, during which they also
hold meat draws and 50/50s. Through
these initiatives, the Dewdney has raised
almost $9,000 for BC children and fami-
lies facing life-threatening illnesses.
Dewdney sta� member, Janice is the
team lead “I’ve always been a Vancouver
Canucks fan,” she said, “and also, I’ve
had a few friends pass away while in
hospice care. I saw the public service
announcement about Canuck Place on
TV and decided that we should be rais-
ing money for these kids and families,
especially since a second Canuck Place
is being built right in our hometown of
Abbotsford. It was a really easy choice.”
Dewdney owner, Doug McNeill, is a big
supporter of the initiative. “It’s amazing
that week in, week out, our commu-
nity comes together to raise money for
Canuck Place,” said Doug. “It’s become
a social event, but people know it’s for a
good cause, and I think that’s why they
keep coming back. We’re proud to help
out in this small way.”
Thank you to all the sta� and customers
at the Historic Dewdney Pub for your
amazing work for Canuck Place. You
are an inspiration!

SUSAN POITRAS
NURSE, COUNSELLOR + CERTIFIEDPLAY THERAPIST
Susan Poitras is a nurse, counsellor and
certifi ed play therapist at Canuck Place
Children’s Hospice. She was hired in
1995 to open the hospice as a nurse and
food services coordinator to set up the
kitchen program and has been a leader
in the growth of Canuck Place programs
for over 18 years.
“Working at Canuck Place Children’s
Hospice has changed my career and
how I view life,” she said. “I appreciate

AMRIT MAHARAJ
2013 BC COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD RECIPIENT
If there were an image made of Canuck
Place volunteer Amrit Maharaj’s heart —
it would be big. A Family Volunteer since
2005, he is a giving, supportive individu-
al who makes a positive impact when he
arrives every Saturday afternoon.
“I look back and sometimes can’t
believe it’s been eight years,” Amrit said.
“How I found myself here has been a
culmination of a few di� erent events in
my life — after I graduated from uni-
versity, I began working at a start-up
company that donated to Canuck Place,
so I would drop o� donations here at
my family’s health, and respect that we
are all living while dying. We all need a
community of support when faced with
life’s challenges and I am honored to be
able to support others in this community.”
Susan’s work as a counsellor is complex
and is tailored to the individual needs
of patients and their families. Susan
provides guidance and support to the
children, youth and families and the
clinical team in the process of grief,
loss and adjustment. “Pediatric palliative
care is a specialized fi eld and requires
ongoing dedication to embrace the
moments and memories while hold-
ing a sense of unknown,” she explained.
“The feelings, thoughts and behaviours
that are prompted by these phenomena
are what the counselling team supports
— these can be expressed in many dif-
ferent ways and supported with various
interventions, like play therapy.”
Susan has many memories of the chil-
dren and youth she has supported over
the years. “To support a child or youth
through their dying has been a humbling
experience, and I have learned and grown
from each child and youth I have worked
with. Their love and hopes for their family
and the courage to face the unknown is
remarkable and inspiring, and I thank all of
them for their beautiful spirits.”
the house. Also during that time, one of
my best friends died in a car accident,
and that really fl ipped my world upside
down. It taught me what was important,
and what really matters in life.”
In his role as a Family Volunteer Amrit
works alongside the professional care
team to enhance the quality of life for
children and families in hospice. He
explains, “Family volunteers interact
with the child and any siblings or family,
and we’re there for outings, arts and
crafts, in the school room — we’re there
to support and be that missing friend
or neighbour the family may call on to
lend a hand when time and energy
are depleted.”
In addition to his weekly Family
Volunteer shift, Amrit also volunteers
his time at various Canuck Place
fundraising events throughout the year.
His remarkable dedication, service and
enthusiasm for the Hospice earned him
a BC Community Achievement Award
in 2013. But Amrit insists that no matter
how much time or energy he gives to
Canuck Place kids and families, what
he gets back is so much more. “The
strength and the courage I witness in
the children and families I work with is
so amazing. Through them, I’ve learned
so much about resilience and what
living a full life is really about.”

rent province-wide demand at our Van-
couver facility. Canuck Place Children’s
Hospice — Dave Lede House — located
in Abbotsford, will help meet the grow-
ing need for pediatric palliative services,
particularly in the Fraser Health region
where 46% of families currently served
by Canuck Place reside. It will also serve
the entire province and will signifi cantly
lessen the travel time required by families
coming from outside Vancouver.
PHASE 1 – BUILDING TAKEOVER JANUARY 2014
Phase 1 includes the construction of the
second location, Canuck Place — Dave
Lede House — Abbotsford, which will
complete in late fall of 2013.
PHASE 3 – COMMUNITY + PARTIAL IN-PATIENT SERVICES 2016
Phase 3 of the Province’s second
pediatric palliative hospice in Abbotsford

an additional 9 patient beds for children
and families in B.C. Initially, Canuck
Place will operate 4 of these beds.
Children and families will be admitted
for stays for respite and family support
and pain and symptom management.
Your gift will help us operate Canuck
Place-Abbotsford 24-hours a day, seven
days a week.
Donors like you provide 80% of the
funds required to operate medical and
nursing sta� 24 hours-per-day, grief and
loss counselling including music and
play therapy, art, education, recreation

and systems will occur through to
January 2014. This is a building opera-
tional procedure called ‘commissioning’.
Over 46% of the Province’s children
currently live in the Fraser Valley.
Our second hospice is built right where
families and children live and need
our help.
PHASE 2 – COMMUNITY CENTRED SERVICES
Phase 2 of Canuck Place Children’s
Hospice — Dave Lede House —
Abbotsford will begin in spring of 2014.
The hospice will begin operating
community-centred services. This will
include consultation visits by physicians,
nurses and counsellors in hospitals and
homes, individual and group grief and
loss support, and recreational therapy
for children and families registered in
the program. Children and families
will continue to have support from the
Vancouver location, including access to
hospice admissions, and the 24-hour
phone consultation support.
Over the coming year, Canuck Place is
working hard to furnish the hospice —
from hospital beds to medical equip-
ment to kitchen appliances.
therapy, visiting consultation services to
hospital and community and 24-hour
province-wide phone support.
PHASE 4 – FULL SERVICES 2017
Phase 4 will see full occupancy and
operation of all programs at the Canuck
Place Children’s Hospice — Dave Lede
House — Abbotsford. With the second
hospice operating full services Canuck
Place will have 18 patient beds and 9
family suites available to care for our
Province’s children and families through
the two locations.
We are very grateful to the community
of donors who have supported the
$13-million capital project and growth
of critical pediatric palliative care ser-
vices provided by Canuck Place.

BEREAVED SIBLING AND PARENTS SUPPORT GROUPS
The work of the counselling
team is to provide support to
children and families through
all the di� erent stages of
their personal journey. Using
skills from the disciplines of
social work, spiritual care,
expressive therapies (art, play
and music) and recreational
therapy, the counselling team
works to come alongside
children and family members
in a way that is supportive of
their relationships and back-
ground.
Depending on each family’s
unique circumstances, mem-
bers of the counselling team
o� er many di� erent forms of
support. Many Canuck Place
parents have said that partici-
pating in this support group
has helped to decrease their
isolation and provide under-
standing and comfort.
SUMMER IN THE CITY
The Canuck Place Summer
in the City Camp fi lls a need
for children and youth with
life-threatening illnesses to
just be kids. Recreational
opportunities and play are
integral components of qual-
ity of life for all children, and
the Canuck Place kids are
no exception. Yet for them,
these opportunities may be
limited in their home com-
munities, and participating
in safe, accessible activities
that provide personal growth
and challenge may not be
feasible, particularly for those
with severe physical, cogni-
tive and fi nancial limitations.
The Canuck Place Camp
Program enhances the quality
of life for children/youth with
life-threatening illnesses by
providing such opportunities.
The recreation program cre-
ates special experiences that
are exciting and empowering,
while being physically safe
and medically sound.

FINANCIALS REPORT FROM THE AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEEThe past year has been a challenging
one fi nancially for Canuck Place as we
sought to fi nd increases in revenue to
support the expansion of services called
for in our strategic plan. Although we
continue to be supported generously by
individuals and organizations through-
out BC, we did not achieve our general
donations targets.
Government funding continued at
levels lower than two years ago and we
continue to seek an increased level of
support from the Province to allow us to
support the demand for our programs
and complexity of the care required.
We continue to be very grateful for our
fantastic partnership with the Vancou-
ver Canucks organization, however,
contributions from the Canucks for Kids
Fund were down signifi cantly due to a
shortened season.
We were extremely fortunate to be the
benefi ciary of a number of bequests
from the estates of individual support-
ers. This signifi cant unexpected revenue
allowed us to avoid incurring a substan-
tial defi cit and also to return a contribu-
tion to our Foundation that we received
to cover a defi cit two years ago. We
recognize, however, that we cannot
count on this source of revenue to be
there on a consistent basis.
We continued to keep expenses under
tight control given our fi nancial situa-
tion, but recognize the need for sub-
stantially higher levels of expenditure in
the future if we are to make our services
available to a greater proportion of the
children and families in British Columbia
who need them.
For the coming year, we are pleased
that key development group positions
have been fi lled which will allow us to
improve our outreach to our supporters
and to better develop gifts from major
donors. We will also be focused on a
dialogue with the provincial govern-
ment about the appropriate level of its
funding of our pediatric palliative care
services, so that we can meet the needs
of a larger number of children and fami-
lies throughout British Columbia.

“There is something about the love that
a parent has for their child — they are a
parent forever.”
“If anybody ever asks me
what Canuck Place is, I always say first – it’s a little canoe on a big wave. We are a small
organization riding a big wave of public support. We wouldn’t exist if it
wasn’t for the tremendous community from across
this province that chooses to reach out and care.”
“Canuck Place is a little outpost on
a pathway that nobody wants
to go down with their children. The
conscious awareness that your child will probably not live to adulthood — is
extremely difficult to live with for families. At Canuck Place our
staff journey with these families and provide the clinical and psychosocial
care needed.”
