SPECIAL FEATURE: HOSPICE VAUGHAN GROUNDBREAKING
Here's to new beginnings for the city of Vaughan! Hospice founders, board members both past and present, volunteers, staff, government partners and community supporters were at the groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the beginning of construction for the Hospice Vaughan Centre of Excellence.

It was a remarkable and inspirational morning, with so many supporters in attendance to help us celebrate this significant milestone in our history, which could only be acheived beacuse so many people came together to work towards a common goal.

The new Hospice Vaughan will be a haven of peace of comfort and will provide support and dignity to individuals and their families when they need it most.
