March 20th marks the first day of spring; a season of renewal, growth, and new beginnings. 🌱🌸

Today is also the start of Nowruz, which means “New Day” in Persian, the world’s oldest continuously celebrated new year. Aligned with the spring equinox, over 300 million people across 15+ countries mark this 3,000-year-old festival of renewal. Recognized by UNESCO and the United Nations, Nowruz transcends borders, religions, and languages and is a shared celebration of light, family, and the return of spring. 🌏🌞

Today, we were grateful to experience a small part of that celebration here at PAHS. Our Director of Operations, Hanif, generously shared some beautiful homemade treats (made by his wife, Nalish) to celebrate the day – including Dhokla, a savoury Indian sponge cake from their own family tradition, and sweet Hot Date Chutney. Traditionally, a Nowruz spread might include items like sprouts, wheat pudding, dried fruit, and apples – each symbolizing renewal, health, and prosperity. A simple and meaningful act of kindness that brought warmth (and a little sweetness!) to our day. 🍰🥭

It’s moments like these that show how connection, culture, and community can brighten our world. ✨

We were grateful to host a meaningful Lunch & Learn information session recently, featuring a thoughtful presentation by Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre: Your Life, Your Legacy – Estate Planning 101. 📚✨

Planning ahead isn’t just about paperwork – it’s about peace of mind. Taking the time to make decisions now can ease stress for your loved ones later, giving them the space to focus on what truly matters. ⏱️😌

Thank you to the team at Victory Memorial for sharing your knowledge and guiding our community through the importance of advance planning. 🙏🕊️

We were proud to see our Executive Director, Amanda McNally, representing Peace Arch Hospice Society as a panelist at the Surrey White Rock Board of Trade’s Women Who Lead International Women’s Day celebration. ♀️💐

Aligned with this year’s theme, Give to Gain, the event highlighted how mentorship, collaboration, and shared opportunity help move gender equality forward. When women invest in one another - through time, knowledge, and support - progress accelerates for everyone.

At Peace Arch Hospice Society, we see this spirit every day in the remarkable women who power our work. From compassionate staff to dedicated volunteers, they bring care, strength, and wisdom to supporting individuals and families through grief and end-of-life journeys. 🕊️

Together, they remind us that when women lift one another up, entire communities are strengthened. 💪💓

The original Lion King movie 🦁🌅 served as our inspiration for our first Children’s Grief Camp of 2026. Over two days, eleven children experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one had the opportunity to come together and be with peers, have conversations around death, dying, and grief, learn ways to cope with big emotions, and have fun. 💛 We crafted lion masks, grubs, and guiding stars ⭐ in memory of our special people. We had the chance to test our skills and wisdoms in station games and a safari scavenger hunt 🐾, and we got to host two amazing guests: Face painter Mackenzie (MJC Artistry - Face Painting Vancouver) 🎨 and Drum Master Kwasi 🥁 who both brought art, joy, and smiles to the children’s faces.

A deep thank you to three special women who crafted and donated beautiful items for the children: Lion themed tote bags and Comfort Critters 🧵 from Tammy, handmade bunnies 🐰 from Denise, and lion rocks 🪨 from Audrey. Each item added more magic ✨ for this special weekend!

And finally, this camp would not have been possible without our amazing volunteers who show up and give their incredible energy, attention, love, and wisdom to the Camp. Thank you! 🙏💫

On Pink Shirt Day, we’re thinking about the young people who walk through our doors. 👚

This chair represents someone who deserves to feel safe, heard, and respected.

In our children and youth grief programs, every seat holds a story – of loss, change, confusion, anger, love. For many young people, those feelings don’t always have words. What they need most is emotional safety.

Pink Shirt Day is about standing up to bullying and choosing kindness, respect, and inclusion. At PAHS, we create spaces where children and youth can show up as they are – without judgment or pressure, free to be themselves. 💙🕊️

Today, we invite everyone to lift up a young person, offer a kind word, or simply listen. That’s how we make every space safer. 🫶

Lunar New Year begins today, February 17th, welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse. 🏮✨🐎🔥

The Horse represents energy, independence and forward momentum. With the Fire element, 2026 brings passion, courage and bold transformation – a vibrant year to move confidently toward new beginnings. 🌅

Celebrations span 15 days and are rich with meaning – homes are cleaned to welcome fresh luck 🧹🏠, red decorations symbolize prosperity and protection 🧧❤️, and families gather to share meals and blessings 🍊🥟🥢. Using the term “Lunar New Year” honours the many cultures who celebrate across the world 🌏

📸 William, our Finance Minister, thoughtfully prepared sweet tofu-based dessert dumplings for the occasion. Thank you, William, for sharing this meaningful treat with us! 🥟😋

A joyful season of renewal, connection and hope – may the Year of the Fire Horse inspire courage, warmth and prosperity for all. ✨

The Supportive Care Center will be closed this Monday, February 16th as our team takes a pause on Family Day.

Family means something different to each of us; those we are born into, those we choose, and those who walk alongside us through life’s most tender moments. While our office will be closed, support is always available in our community. If you or someone you know requires immediate emotional support, the Fraser Health Crisis Line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 604-951-8855 or toll-free at 1-877-820-7444.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and connected Family Day. 💙🕊️
