Give the Gift of Compassion

Exciting News: A Generous Gift to the Sea to Sky Hospice Society

We are thrilled to share that the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation has generously donated $100,000 to the Endowment Fund held by the Whistler Community Foundation in support of the Sea to Sky Hospice Society! A heartfelt thank you to the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation Board of Directors for recognizing the importance of the vital programs and services we provide to our community in the Sea to Sky corridor.

In honor of this incredible gift, we’re launching a matching gift campaign today that will run through the end of February. Every donation you make to support the Hospice Society’s programs and services will be matched, dollar for dollar, by the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation.

Give today, and your donation will have twice the impact! Make a Matching Gift Today!

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Dara Sklar and the Squamish Squash Club for their recent and extremely kind donation made as a result of the 2024 Squash Club Tournament held in memory of:

Neil Metcalf

Don Gunn

Brian Pollock (wife: Deb)

Paul Marlatt

The tournament was a lot of fun, and ran all day Sunday, Dec 1st. The team format led to a tie in the morning round between the teams, and led to a rousing playoff right before the afternoon round.

Thank you for your continued support, Squamish Squash Club and Dara Sklar!

Thank you Carmen!

Our mini-training session was a wonderful success!

,

This past week we held our first mini-training session: Facilitating a Grief & Loss Walking Group

Facilitating a Grief & Loss Walking Group is such an impactful way to support others. Carlee Baker’s insights were invaluable, especially in sharing practical tips for facilitating these sensitive discussions. This was a great opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers and learn from their experiences as well. These kinds of sessions really help build confidence and foster a supportive community.

Brackendale Fall Fair a Success!
