Comfort, Compassion and Care for our Community
Services
We offer a variety of services and programs to the residents of Delta and Tsawwassen First Nation Lands free of charge.
​
Please contact us at 604-245-7380 or info@heronhospice.org to access, or learn more about any of the following services.
​
Counselling
Our specially trained counsellors provide Delta and Tsawwassen First Nation Land community members and/or their families with practical and emotional support during their grief journey.​ Dealing with loss, uncertainty, and change, as well as having to make decisions associated with an advanced illness, can be as difficult as the physical pain. We offer a safe place to express negative and other emotions without being judged.​
Grief Groups
When we ache from the loss of a loved one, we need to grieve, to give peace to the grief. Using a variety of techniques, grief is explored in a small group setting, with time for each participant to share their grief journey. Led by a professional counsellor, the groups sessions are offered in person. All sessions are held at the Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care at 4631 Clarence Taylor Crescent, at no cost to Delta residents
Group Programs
We offer a range of group programs designed to support individuals who are grieving, living with a life-limiting illness, or caring for someone who is. Our programs are varied and updated regularly to reflect the needs of our community. We invite you to explore what’s currently available.

Hospice Visits
Our volunteer team supports residents at Irene Thomas Hospice with daily visits. Our volunteers will visit with residents and their families to provide compassionate, warm and caring support.
Tea Service
Offered at the Irene Thomas Hospice, this program creates a special moment of splendor for residents and their families. Our volunteers will offer refreshments and treats to residents and their families on an antique tea cart, served on beautiful china and silver.
Bereavement Bags
Our Bereavement Basket program was created to offer a sense of comfort & connection during the difficult time after a loved one dies. This basket was made possible by generous donations from Delta residents as a way to let you know that you are not alone. Each basket is lovingly prepared by Heron Hospice Society volunteers.​​
Community Education
Through workshops and webinars, we aim to help educate our community on end-of life issues, including death, grief and loss, and related topics. Partnering with allied healthcare professionals, these education sessions are open to the public and will feature end of life supports, advance planning, understanding hospice care, bereavement and more.
Lending Library
We feature a lending library, that includes a large variety of books on grief and bereavement, death and dying, self-care, and other related topics.
The library is open to Delta community members: Monday - Thursday, 9:30 - 2:30.
Grief Companions
When life gets in the way, it can feel like there is no time to sit and acknowledge your grief. When this happens, it can be helpful to carve out a specific time each week to pause, breathe, and process your grief. You will be matched with a trained Grief Companion volunteer and have a chance to meet via phone, online or in person at a time convenient to you. The volunteers, who are trained and supervised by a registered clinical counsellor, will listen and support participants through their grief journey.
