Scotiabank recently donated $45,000 to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Abbotsford.
Canuck Place CEO Filomena Nalewajek, in accepting the donation, said Scotiabank has supported the organization since 1995, when it opened its first children’s hospice in Vancouver.
The second 30,000-square-foot hospice is currently under construction on Marshall Road, adjacent to Abbotsford Regional Hospital, as part of the Dave Lede Campus of Care.
The project also includes the Abbotsford Hospice Society’s Holmberg House and Matthew’s House, a respite facility for children with severe disabilities.
