The Board of the Delta BC Hospice Society that operates the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner BC, recently renewed a position, of the previous board that opposes euthanasia (MAiD) while supporting excellent care.

An article published by the Delta Optimist explains that last Thursday the Delta Hospice Society elected a new board. The new board met on Saturday where they passed a resolution stating that:

MAiD is not compatible with the Delta Hospice Society purposes stated in the society’s constitution, and therefore, will not be performed at the Irene Thomas Hospice.

A letter was sent out by Angelina Ireland, the new President of the Delta BC Hospice announcing their position and the new leadership team.


The position of the Delta Hospice is not new but rather a renewal of its previous position. In February 2018, the Delta Hospice was ordered by Fraser Health to provide euthanasia. The Delta Hospice did not comply with the edict from Fraser Health.
