Lakeview Village Challenges The Community to Join the Moment.
“Hospice Mississauga has made tremendous progress toward its $28M goal and Lakeview Village is proud to help bring this vital community asset to life” said Brian Sutherland, President of Lakeview Village.
“Despite current economic and market challenges, we believe it’s more important than ever to invest in the long term well being of our community. Ensuring access to a full continuum of end-of-life care is essential
for Mississauga residents and their families” Brian added.
”We have committed $1 million in funding over the next 10 years to support the Hospice Centre. The Hospice team made it very easy for us to support in ways that aligned with our business model through a meaningful and lasting contribution to our community” added Sutherland.
“The support of partners like Lakeview Village will enhance access to a place where people can be cared for with comfort and dignity, and where families are supported with compassion and confidence in the care
journey.” said Kitrina Fex, CEO, Hospice Mississauga.

We are honoured to be part of this special project as the steel contractor and take great pride in contributing to a facility that will have a meaningful and lasting impact on our community.”

FAQ
About the Building Project
What is the Hospice Centre?
The Hospice Centre will be Mississauga’s first purpose-built space offering 12 care suites, space for wellness programs, counselling, and community connections.
Where is it being built?
At 2176 Speakman Drive in Mississauga.
When will it be ready?
Construction starts in January 2026. We expect to welcome the first individuals by late 2027.
Why is this important for Mississauga?
Mississauga currently has no hospice centre, yet it should have 7 beds for every 100,000 people. This centre fills a major gap in local health care and completes our continuum of care for those with a palliative or end of life illness.
Funding & Donations
Why do you need donations if the government is helping?
The Province funds only a portion of the cost of the building—about 10% for the building and 50% of yearly operations. The rest of our funding comes from caring donors in the community.
How much do you need to raise?
Thanks to caring donors we only have $14,235,000 to raise in funds. The City of Mississauga has provided funding and financing to ensure the success of this important project.
Can I make payments over time?
Yes! We will work with donors to find opportunities and payment schedules that work for both of us.
What fundraising programs are available?
There are many opportunities to get involved. From forms of remembrance like our Leaves of Remembrance for just $1500 to naming a room or space, the opportunities are numerous. Please get in touch with ghill@hospicemississauga.ca to discuss.
Volunteering and Getting Involved
Can I volunteer at the Hospice Centre?
Yes! Opportunities will be posted once the centre is in its operational readiness phase which is anticipated in Spring 2027. Until then please check out the variety of volunteer opportunities here: hospicemississauga.ca/volunteer/
Will the Hospice Centre reflect our diverse community?
Yes. Cultural inclusion is a key focus. This will include spiritual supports and technology to help residents stay connected with their faith or cultural community.
