North Shore gets its chance to Hug for HOpe on Saturday, Oct. 4

Lions Gate Hospital Foundation is inviting staff, physicians, clients and families from across the North Shore to join in a celebration of the completion of the HOpe Centre, VCH’s newest facility for mental health and addictions.

Open House is kicked off with a Huge Hug!

Please join the crowd Saturday, October 4th and help kick off the Open House event with a giant Hug for HOpe. We’re looking for 200 volunteers to come together and join hands around the HOpe Centre in a Hug for Hope in support of mental health.

With your help, we can show those affected by mental illness that our community cares and supports their journey. Afterwards, we invite you to take a self-guided tour of this visionary facility during the Open House.
