Easter Seals House
Easter Seals House is a charity-run lodge that provides a home-away-from-home for families and adults who travel from out of town to Vancouver for medical treatment. Located just minutes from hospitals, it is a lifeline for thousands of families throughout BC and Yukon to help relieve them of the stress and financial burden of finding somewhere to stay in an expensive, and unfamiliar city.
Fees collected from stays at the Easter Seals House contributes towards the operation of the facility and funds other programs such as summer camps for people with disabilities.
‘Easter Seals House is so valuable to so many people across the province. I become emotional when I think about it. Easter Seals House takes away one worry when there’s so many other worries.’ – Randy and Kimberley, Easter Seals House guests.
