Family Engagement Opportunity: January–March 2025 family storytelling opportunity
Recruitment to participate in signature event, fundraising & awareness campaign
Canuck Place Children’s Hospice is a leader in pediatric palliative care—locally, nationally, and internationally. As such, the communication & marketing team supports the organization with ongoing education and awareness of the Canuck Place program and to support fundraising for care provided for children and families. The team regularly develops and promotes family experiences and stories through visual communications, like newspapers, digital advertising, social media, and videos.
This opportunity will highlight to donors in various ways, the important and impactful interdisciplinary care Canuck Place provides children and families across the province. This includes sharing family story through photos, videos, direct mail, gala speech, and written interview content across all CPCH communication and marketing channels. While we will share this content primarily in the January–March 2025 timeframe, content will also be used in ongoing communication initiatives.
We hope to select one family living in the Fraser Valley area, who access many aspects of the Canuck Place program including respite, recreation therapy, counselling, and more.
The commitment for this engagement opportunity will take place:
- January–March 2025
- Filming and prep to begin before the promotion timeframe (November–December)
Access to a computer and familiarity with Zoom is required. Please review the time commitment for the opportunity below:
- Send answers to 5–10 written interview questions (1 hour approximately)

- Participate in a family photo/video shoot at the hospice in December (4-5 hours)
- Prepare a 7-10 minute speech to give at Canuck Place’s Signature Event, The Gift of Love in March 2025 (5 hours approximately)
- The Communications team will share examples of previous Gift of Love speeches with you. The team will also support you with writing/editing your speech, ensuring in the process that you can focus on sharing your family journey and we can support with important elements of the Canuck Place program and care you received.
