Every May, Bow Valley Palliative has hosted Hike for Hospice during National Hospice Palliative Care Week. In 2025, Hike was incorporated into our new event Pals for Palliative providing our community with a wide range of options to support and fundraise for palliative and end of life care, and grief support. Pals for Palliative will continue and grow in 2026, with more ways to raise funds from hiking, cycling, paddling to baking, quilting and friendly competitions. Watch out for an announcement in Spring 2026!

Based in the beautiful Bow Valley, we know that community is as important to you as it is to us. That is why when faced with a life changing diagnosis or experiencing grief, we are here for you, closer to home.
