The provincial government announced it will be investing $1.25 million towards the construction of Six Nations of the Grand River’s new five-bed hospice during a press conference at White Pines Wellness Centre on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.
The new hospice, which is currently named Six Nations of the Grand River Community Hospice, will be the first Indigenous-led, operated and on-territory facility in Canada.
“Our government is ensuring people and their families have access to the care they need in their community, close to their loved ones,” said Sylvia Jones, Ontario’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Our investment to expand access to end-of-life care that recognizes the importance of Indigenous-led traditional healing on Six Nations of the Grand River, is another step our government is taking to deliver compassionate and specialized care for patients and their loved ones.”
