Hike to make a difference!

Spring is in the air and registration is open for the Hike for Hospice! Join us for a hike on rolling trails around beautiful Providence Farm or a meditative walk in a labyrinth. A salmon or burger lunch follows the walk, and you can enjoy live music and a foot spa (by donation).

This beautiful annual event is a key fundraiser for Hospice care for people across the Cowichan Region. Cowichan Valley Hospice volunteers and staff care for those at the end of life, their families and for people grieving the death of someone they love.

Here what some hospice clients had to say:

"My loving wife passed away 15 months ago. Several years before she passed we were encouraged to acquaint ourselves with services provided by Cowichan Valley Hospice. We immediately took advantage of the care clinic program. I continue to participate in a number of hospice programs, even after my wife's passing.
The most valuable program I attend is the bereavement support group. This group is a safe place to share significant things occurring in my life as I move through grief.
I encourage those who are experiencing loss to take advantage of the services provided by hospice. They have been immensely helpful to me. I'm confident they will be helpful to you as well." � T. North Cowichan

"I want to express a heartfelt thank you for the vigil support provided during the last days of my husband�s life, as well as for those hospice hospital volunteers who support palliative care patients and their families. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and compassionate care taken by these volunteers not only for my husband, but also for me. Indeed, the CV Hospice volunteers are special, and I am grateful for their presence and for the existence of hospice in Duncan." - S. Duncan
