Valour Place

Dear Friends,

2020 has been difficult for everyone. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown world economies, governments and health systems into chaos while impacting our physical, social and mental health. As an organization we’ve responded well to the crisis managing fluctuating demand and increased internal safety protocols and I’m extremely proud of our team who managed to keep the doors open and maintain the safety of Valour Place for our guests.

T’is the season to rejoice, relax and be with family. Be deliberate, be careful and be grateful this holiday season. I challenge you to find the silver linings in your current situation. A challenge accepted by many of our guests as they face every day as they go through their various treatments and health challenges. Find new and unique ways to share the love and light with your family this year.

From all of us at Valour Place – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.


Sincerely,
Sean Rayner
President

"I stayed at Valour Place for almost a month at Christmastime when my daughter was born prematurely and in the NICU. I am forever grateful for your generosity and kindness. Emilie is 4 now and doing so well now. Thank you for everything. I will never forget this amazing place and the even more amazing staff."
