About the Sea to Sky Hospice Society

Our charitable organization has a compassionate team of over 60 trained volunteers who support residents throughout the Sea to Sky, from Furry Creek to D’Arcy.

Through the generosity of the Sea to Sky Community members and business owners, we are able to provide care and intentional programming to individuals and families at no charge.

Our Mission

Promoting and providing compassionate care for all Sea to Sky residents with life limiting illness and ongoing support for their loved ones.

Guiding Principles

We believe that:

  • Each person’s experience is unique, and they will be valued, affirmed and treated with dignity, respect and understanding.
  • Life is a precious journey of growth and development and that dying and grieving are a natural part of this journey that can be met with serenity and hope.
  • Individual choices will be respected to allow life to be lived to its fullest; while enabling each person’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs to be met on their own terms.
  • Strength comes from our partnership with community, and we strive to promote and encourage an interdisciplinary, community- wide program of palliative care.
