Every winter, in conjunction with our annual Winter Celebration, we brighten our campus and light our beautiful Tree of Life at the Grace Hospital. Join us on December 8th as we light the Tree of Life and shine over 3,000 lights in memory and in honour of loved ones.
The Tree of Life offers us hope for the future as we continue to provide the very best health care and support to patients and their families.
All donors have the opportunity to include a name in the Grace Hospital Foundation Annual Commemorative Booklet. We encourage you to submit your loved ones name, so that we may honour them during this season.
All donations to the Tree of Life campaign will support the build of a culturally safe space for the practice of Indigenous medicine and ceremony at the Grace.
