Valley Hospice Foundation is dedicated to supporting compassionate hospice and palliative care throughout the Annapolis Valley. The Foundation works to ensure that individuals facing life-limiting illness, and those who care for them, have access to comfort, dignity, and meaningful support at the end of life.
Through fundraising, advocacy, and community partnerships, the Foundation enhances care beyond what is medically provided. Its support helps fund programs and services that nurture physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, including grief and bereavement resources, comfort programs, and complementary therapies. Valley Hospice Foundation is committed to making each moment as supported and meaningful as possible.
Valley Hospice is owned and operated by Nova Scotia Health.
The Valley Hospice Foundation warmly invites our community members, donors, partners, and supporters to attend our upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). At the end of life, being asked to stay positive can feel exhausting and isolating. Hospice music therapy is not about cheerfulness or looking on the bright side. It is about making space for whatever is true in the moment, including grief, fear, love, and quiet. Music and silence offer support without pressure to feel differently. Comfort comes from being accompanied, not redirected. Our Grief Library offers a thoughtful collection of books and resources to support individuals and families navigating loss. Materials are available by mail anywhere in Nova Scotia—so support is always within reach. You can also visit us in person at 11 Opportunity Lane, Coldbrook (PeopleWorx Building), open Mondays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. To borrow resources, call 902-690-2194 or toll-free 1-844-715-2194 or email library@valleyhospice.ca
This meeting is an opportunity to reflect on the past year, celebrate the impact of your support, and look ahead to the important work still to come.2025-26 Valley Hospice Foundation Annual General Meeting
