Provincial dollars help fund Canada’s first Indigenous hospice – Link2Build
October 25, 2024
The Ontario government has committed up to $1.25 million to support the construction of Six Nations of the Grand River’s new five-bed hospice.
Once complete, the facility will help Indigenous people and their loved ones connect to comfortable, culturally appropriate and dignified end-of-life care, close to home.
The new hospice – which is currently named Six Nations of the Grand River Community Hospice – will be constructed on Six Nations of the Grand River and will be the first Indigenous-led, operated and on-territory hospice in Canada.
Its services will incorporate traditional Haudenosaunee teachings to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support that will help Indigenous community members connect to equitable quality care that recognizes and respects their cultural identity, values and beliefs as they make their journey into the spirit world.
