By building up hospice services, we ensure that individuals and their families receive the comfort, respect, and quality care they deserve during life’s most challenging moments. We also hope that our support encourages greater awareness and funding for these extremely important agencies in our communities.” – County of Simcoe Warden Basil Clarke
