The Rose Garden Hospice will break ground on May 15.
After more than a decade of fundraising and garnering support for the project, it’s time for construction to begin.
Construction is expected to last between one year and 18 months.
“We are very excited,” said board member Marina Mitchell.
Mitchell’s mother, Rose Daschuk, is the facility’s namesake. Daschuk battled with cancer, passing away in the hospital. That experience showed Mitchell and the Daschuk family the importance of a facility where people could receive patient-centred end-of-life care in a home-like environment that meets their physical, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of the client, their family and their friends.

PRINCE ALBERT Prince Albert’s Rose Garden Hospice will be under construction starting on May 15. The association was first incorporated in 2008. After the board established its goals, budget, design and demographics, donations started streaming in a few years ago. One of the first major donations came from local Canadian Tire owner Malcolm Jenkins, who has been steadily donating to the cause ever since. The association has since received individual donations, including many from doctors, businesses and through events. “There have been many ups and downs, but nothing worth having comes easy,” said board member Marina Mitchell in a news release.
