Bruce Peninsula Hospice (BP Hospice) got its start by three people from the Anglican Church in Lion’s Head with a goal to enhance hospice care locally. 2025 marked the 30th anniversary of the organization, proving the need and success of this valuable service.
BP Hospice is accredited by Hospice Palliative Care Ontario (HPCO) signifying to health professionals, the public and funders that they are in compliance with industry standards and have been recognized based on a rigorous review of overall performance.
The Mission is to provide compassionate, non-medical care and supports for families and individuals on the Bruce Peninsula. The Hospice Volunteer Visiting Service and Bereavement Support Groups are at the core of the services provided by the group and what a blessing during those challenging times. Thank you to all the volunteers that step up to offer their time and professionalism to help.
In addition to those valuable resources, the services have expanded to include the “Living Well at Home” Program, “Volunteer Drop-Off Services” and Nav-CARE. If a person is experiencing declining health, serious illness or the death of a loved one, or want to plan for the future to maintain the best quality of life possible, look to BP Hospice for assistance at all stages of the health journey.
