Last week, No Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial premiered in Kelowna, and this week, audiences in Port Alberni and Nanaimo had the chance to see the powerful and intimate new documentary.

Join the Vancouver Hospice Society for our screening in Vancouver on November 13, 2025, 6 - 8:30 pm at the Sandman Hotel.

Through the voices and stories of individuals living with unstable housing in Kelowna, the film explores what it means to grieve without a house, and how loss echoes through a community already struggling to survive.

Today, October 10, is both and , two causes that are deeply connected, though not always talked about together. Our work with communities in Kelowna also sheds light on a deeply overlooked aspect of the homelessness crisis: people's grief following the death of someone they care about.

Explore more about this work in the new documentary, No Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial. Through the voices and stories of individuals living with unstable housing, the film explores what it means to grieve without a house, and how loss echoes through a community already struggling to survive.
We have just added a Vancouver screening on November 13, or find a date near you in the image below.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation we recognise the traumatic legacy of the residential school system.

The team at BC Centre for Palliative Care will be using our next team meeting to reflect and learn together. We will learn more about transformative territory acknowledgments, set personal goals and discuss how we can grow as an organisation to address Truth and Reconciliation calls to action.

As we take time to reflect and remember, we also look forward at our ongoing commitment to creating equitable access to compassionate palliative care that is culturally safer for all. By recognising and respecting the unique histories, traditions, and strengths of Indigenous Peoples, we strive to ensure that compassionate care and dignity are extended to everyone we serve.

We will continue to walk this path with Indigenous communities in BC, guided by truth, respect, and understanding.
