The Simcoe County Hospice Alliance submitted a request in May 2022, requesting the County Warden ask county council to consider continuing capital funding in support of local hospices.
The Alliance requested the amount of $500,000 per year for an additional five-year period from 2021 to 2025.
County Council reviewed the request, and it was approved on June 28, 2022.
As a follow-up, the Alliance submitted a letter requesting its funding allocation for 2022. Funds are provided based on completed projects and initiatives.
Funds are provided to organizations the following calendar year once proof of work can be confirmed.
On October 10, 2023, County Council approved the 2022 Simcoe County Hospice Alliance capital funding allocation.
The funding includes approximately $135,000 for Hospice Georgian Triangle in Collingwood, $118,000 for Matthews House Hospice in Alliston, $140,000 for Hospice Simcoe in Barrie, and $96,000 for Mariposa House Hospice in Orillia.
