The Lighthouse Children and Families

Operating the first pediatric palliative care home in Québec, the Lighthouse, Children and Families offers personalized care and services for children with terminal illnesses and their families. Whether in terms of respite stays, symptom management and end-of-life care for children, or grief counselling for parents, brothers and sisters, the team at the Lighthouse delivers the care and services needed by families facing the loss of a child.

With more than 15 years’ worth of experience in developing best practices in community-based pediatric palliative care, the Lighthouse team provides a wide range of activities and educational resources for parents, volunteers, healthcare students and professionals, as well as collaborates in various research projects. 

“Through their steadfast support since its inception, Power Corporation and its subsidiaries, Investors Group (now IG Wealth Management), Great-West Life, Canada Life and London Life (now collectively Canada Life), as well as members of the Desmarais family, have counted among the pillars of the Lighthouse, Children and Families” says Lyne Martin, Executive Director.
