Lighting the Way… denotes a path or journey – for those who are ill and their caregivers, for those who have had a loved one die, and for the community as a sign of support for compassion and palliative care. 

Lighting the Way… raises much needed funds to support the programs of SASHA serving St. Albert and Sturgeon County families who are affected by or living with a life-limiting illness whether they are at home, in hospice, or hospital. 

Lighting the Way… offers an opportunity for the community to come together and show their support through corporate sponsorship or donations to light the trees surrounding Foyer Lacombe Hospice. 

Lighting the Way… not only brings cheer during the festive season to the families and residents of the hospice and long-term care facilities, but the lights on the hill are enjoyed by the entire community. 

Lighting the Way… is an acknowledgment that we live in a caring and compassionate community.
