RBC donates $100,000 to pediatric palliative care

There are approximately 3,000 families in Quebec who have a child afflicted by a terminal illness: 1,800 of those live in the Greater Montreal area alone.

But, unlike other provinces in Canada, Quebec does not have have any facilities dedicated to provide care in the final moments of a terminally-ill child's life, and neither does the province have any palliative care units in any of its pediatric hospitals.

The Lighthouse Home, to be built in Montreal, will be the first dedicated facility in Quebec to offer pediatric palliative care, respite services and support services to children with terminal illnesses and their families.

Construction for the Lighthouse Home is scheduled to be completed by spring 2006, and when complete, the facility will welcome up to 250 children and their families each year.

RBC is donating $100,000 over three years in support of this project.
