Since 1947, Easter Seals BC & Yukon has been providing programs and services to persons with disabilities and medical conditions. Over 1.1 million children and families have been helped through Easter Seals Camps, Easter Seals House, educational classes, community access services and post-secondary bursaries at regional colleges and universities.

Easter Seals House is a home-away-from-home for adults and families when they need to travel to Vancouver for medical treatment and is a place of respite for parents and caregivers needing a place to rejuvenate. It's a safe, affordable home they can count on to stay. Over 22,500 guests stayed at the House last year. 

For so many adults and families, knowing Easter Seals House is here gives them a sense of peace and calmness. It’s their home away from home when they need to travel to Vancouver for medical treatment and care. It’s a safe, affordable home they can count on to stay, during very hard times. Located just blocks away from the best hospitals and treatment centres, makes it easy for guests and caregivers to travel to and from.

“To receive the best care possible, we had to make the trip to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. I left my three younger girls, family, and friends behind to be by Hannah’s side every step of the way. Being suddenly uprooted from a small town and thrown into the big city, alone and with a sick child was terrifying. Easter Seals House was there when we needed it the most."
