March 9, 2016 – VANCOUVER, BC – The Canucks for Kids Fund has made a significant donation of $1 million to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation to support the creation of a Canucks-themed playroom in the new Teck Acute Care Centre (Teck ACC) opening in 2017.
The playroom is designed in tribute to the Vancouver Canucks and will serve some of the hospital’s most critically ill and medically complex patients and families. It is being constructed on the seventh floor of the Teck ACC, in the heart of the new BC Children’s Hospital.
In addition to the playroom, the $1 million donation from the Canucks for Kids Fund (CFKF) will also support child and youth mental health initiatives, and programs within the hospital’s Child Life department.
