Celebrate World Hospice & Palliative Care Day 2025

World Hospice Day was held at the Cannery Trade Centre on October 11th, 2025.

Eight amazing Cannery Businesses donated prizes for our pink butterfly prize tree. Hospice volunteers Lara and Ken serenaded us while we enjoyed cuddles from our Pet Therapy dogs, Fig and Fred and tasty treats from ONE 14 Coffee. Co.
