Giving Back to Our Community in Vancouver

Over our long history in British Columbia, Paine Edmonds has strived to give back to our community which we proudly serve. If you would like more information about our community involvement and the charities we support, please read below.

Canuck Place

Canuck Place Children’s Hospice is a free-standing children’s hospice that provides innovative, holistic, and clinical care to newborns, children, youth, and their families with progressive life-threatening conditions. Founded in 1995, we strive to improve pediatric palliative care regionally, nationally, and internationally. A portion of the funds raised by the team at Paine Edmonds’ annual Christmas raffle are donated to Canuck Place. Paine Edmonds also donates event tickets to Canuck Place volunteers in appreciation of their tireless work and support.
