The Lighthouse Children and Families

Operating the first pediatric palliative care home in Quebec, the Lighthouse, Children and Families offers personalized care and services for children with terminal illnesses and their families. Whether in terms of respite stays, symptom management and end-of-life care for children, or grief counselling for parents, brothers and sisters, the team at the Lighthouse delivers the care and services needed by families facing the loss of a child.

With over 25 years' experience in developing best practices in pediatric palliative care, the Lighthouse team offers a wide range of training activities and tools, while collaborating on various research projects. Today, its team is a key reference in the field of pediatric palliative care in Quebec. 

“Through their steadfast support since its inception, Power Corporation and its subsidiaries, IG Wealth Management and Canada Life, as well as members of the Desmarais family, have counted among the pillars of the Lighthouse, Children and Families” says Lyne Martin, Executive Director.
