Did You Know?
We were able to purchase our new home – at 89 Queen Street in Truro – thanks to two generous gifts from the community.
The first was from the late Joanne Venner, who bequeathed her home to the hospice society in 2010. The second was from 107-year-old Nelly Traxler who left half of her estate to the society in honour of her mother, Frau Marta Bumova.
The Colchester East Hants Hospice Society took possession of this 20th century, revival style house on March 27th, 2013 and moved our offices in that Fall.
Where the hospice society does not receive direct funding from the government, we rely on the support of a generous community to fund our programs and services.
Thanks to all of our supporters!
