The Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society (PGHPCS) is offering new Rec Room Programs, furthering the organization’s commitment to expanding hospice services for the community.
This new addition aligns with the strategic goal of creating a space for individuals with life-limiting illnesses, their caregivers, and those grieving.
The Rec Room is dedicated to promoting healing and wellness through meaningful connections and tangible support.
Programs offered include:
- Woodworking Though It: Participants share experiences while creating and building wood projects.
- Art Hive: A space for people to come together through art and creativity.
- The Mourning Journal: A reflective writing space promoting self-healing.
- Self-Defense: A program for parents and children to learn communication and self-expression through empowerment.
- Soundsation: A six-week program using sound and music to foster a sense of wellness and healing.
- Drop-In games day – come on in and hang out. We will have games and coffee etc. available.
All programs are supported by community members who generously contribute their talents and creativity.
Alongside hospice staff, they create a safe space for communal healing.

The Rec Room will serve as a dynamic space for local organizations, fostering engagement and socialization through activities such as art and craft workshops, pottery, puzzles, painting, and leatherworking.
“We are thrilled to share the new Rec Room Programs, demonstrating our commitment to providing comprehensive and innovative support to our community,” said Donna Flood, executive director of PGHPCS.
“We extend our deepest gratitude to the community for their unwavering support and contributions, both financial and in kind, which have made this expansion possible.”
