Cranbrook Kimberley hospice house location search

Overview

The Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society is seeking a location for a new hospice house to address a regional shortage of palliative care beds. Early efforts focused on identifying suitable properties, with the Mount Baker RV Campground identified as an ideal location and a vacant parcel in the Highlands neighbourhood as a secondary option. The society’s chair, George Watson, clarified that the organization did not intend to cause friction with RV park operators following misunderstandings regarding land use.

Subsequently, the City of Cranbrook integrated a query regarding the proposed 10-bed facility into its 2027 Budget Citizen Survey. This survey allows residents to weigh in on the preferred location, offering a choice between the Mount Baker RV Campground and four other potential sites: the Frost lands, the Highlands area, the Slaterville area, or the south area of the Kinsmen Quad Ball Park.
