As I toured the hospice recently, one thought came into my head now is the time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. For those of you that have worked on building this hospice our fundraisers, staff, architects, carpenters, electricians - and the many, many volunteers who sit on design advisory committees you might think this a strange thought , after all havent we already been working hard for the past 11 months?
Everyone who tours the hospice will notice the great care that has gone into getting each small detail correct. The families we serve, and the staff and volunteers who will work in the building, will be very grateful to the hard work of so many who have followed the mantra - this will be more than just a building.

Well done Construction Committee! Well done ROA! Well done Westhoek!
While we built the structure, many people have been working behind the curtains to build policies, develop procedures, train volunteers, hire staff - basically to design a culture worthy of the building. Well done Volunteer committee, Quality Committee, Governance Committee, Finance Committee and our partners at St. Andrews Residence, CKHA and VON.
All this activity will culminate in doors open in a few short weeks!
So why do I think its time to roll up our sleeves? Because our beautiful building and our clever innovative policies will mean nothing without one essential ingredient - love. It is time to bring the love into the building. It will be carried in the hearts of the staff, volunteers and families. It is time to get our building, our policies, our staff and volunteers to work together to create the magic that is hospice and the one essential ingredient that changes our very wonderful building into something so much more is love.
Today lets celebrate! Then lets get to work!
