On November 7, friends of Canuck Place Children’s Hospice gathered in a private North Vancouver home for a rare and memorable evening with acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Mangan. More than a concert, the intimate setting created a celebration of community, connection, and the shared belief that every child and family facing a serious illness deserve compassionate care and support.
The evening offered guests a unique opportunity to experience Mangan’s beautiful music up close while learning more about the extraordinary work of Canuck Place, which provides children’s palliative care—including pain and symptom management, family support and respite, education, music and recreation therapy, grief, loss, and bereavement care, and end-of-life care—at no cost across British Columbia and the Yukon.

Music has a remarkable ability to bring people together, creating moments of comfort, understanding, and hope. Those same qualities are at the heart of the care provided at Canuck Place, where families are supported through life’s most challenging moments. The evening reflected that spirit, bringing together people who believe in the power of community to make a meaningful difference.
“I don’t know what’s more impressive—the quality and nuance of care that Canuck Place provides, or the sheer scale of their operation,” Mangan shared. “Beyond the given medical complexities lie countless cracks through which parents and siblings could fall. Over the decades of care, they have truly narrowed in on what’s actually helpful for these families.”

The gathering also marked the launch of Share the Light with Dan & Jill, a special online fundraising campaign led by Mangan and fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Jill Barber. The Canuck Place team will also be on hand during Barber’s upcoming show, A Holly Jolly Jill Barber Christmas, taking place at the Vancouver Playhouse on November 26 at 8 pm.
“A great way to celebrate the love and light in your home this holiday season is to share the light with other families,” Barber says.
Until December 31, every dollar raised will be matched by generous Light a Life matching sponsors, doubling the impact of each gift. Learn more and support the campaign through the Share the Light with Dan & Jill platform.
