The project is evocative of an Arts & Crafts manor house with a steeply pitched roof, broad gables and shed dormers, square-sided bay windows, continuous shingle siding with painted wood trims, granite stone chimneys, and a wrap-around porch supported by stout square columns. The roof form sweeps down to form a gatehouse porch, at the main entrance.
“We are very grateful for the generosity of the community and the support of the Ministry of Health. Our newest Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Abbotsford will bring our programs and services closer to more B.C. children and their families living in the Fraser Valley and B.C. Interior.” – Filomena Nalewajek, CEO, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice
