Hiking For Hospice Georgian Triangle
Hike for Hospice Palliative Care is a unique national fundraising event that helps raise funds and awareness throughout Canada. Funds raise through the May 1st hike can ensure that more Canadians receive the end-of-life care they wish for. One hundred percent of the funds raised in the Collingwood walk remain in the community.
Hospice Georgian Triangle hosted the 1km and 5km Collingwood hike from the Collingwood Curling Club. In addition, a 10km hike was held along the Bruce Trail from Scenic Caves.
Hospice Georgian Triangle was formed in 1987, and is a charitable, volunteer-based organization, providing non-medical support to individuals and families living with any life-threatening illness. The Hospice located in Collingwood operates with two respite-care beds offered to families who are caring for a palliative ill family member. These beds are booked on a regular basis by families who need a break from the demands of the 24-hour care. Hospice Georgian Triangle also offers Bereavement Support for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
