Bringing Holiday Cheer to Pioneer Lodge Garden
As the holiday season approaches, Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw is spreading joy and warmth through their new initiative, ‘Light up the Lodge for Christmas’. The Pioneer Lodge Serenity Garden has been transformed into a magical winter wonderland, thanks to the generous contributions from Moose Jaw Co-op and Canadian Tire. The twinkling lights and festive decorations aim to brighten the spirits of residents, staff, and visitors, creating a heartwarming atmosphere of holiday cheer.
The vision of Heartland Hospice goes beyond providing end-of-life care within the facility’s walls. It extends to the serene outdoor space of the Serenity Garden, offering a peaceful retreat for patients and families. The addition of Christmas lights to the garden is a thoughtful gesture to bring comfort and joy to those in the hospice room and the residents of Pioneer Lodge.
Founded in 2014, Heartland Hospice is dedicated to establishing a complete palliative/hospice care wing at Pioneer Lodge. Their ongoing capital campaign aims to enhance the facility by adding dedicated hospice-palliative bedrooms, a family resource center, a sacred space, a serenity garden, and essential palliative care training for staff. The goal for 2024 is to realize these renovation objectives, providing a holistic and compassionate environment for end-of-life care.
To support the ‘Light Up the Lodge for Christmas’ initiative or contribute to Heartland Hospice’s mission, donations can be made through their website.

The festive spirit of giving is alive and well in Moose Jaw, as local businesses and organizations come together to create a festive and uplifting experience for those in need. The collaboration between Heartland Hospice, Moose Jaw Co-op, and Canadian Tire exemplifies the community’s generosity and compassion, making a meaningful impact on the lives of hospice patients and their families.
The transformation of the Pioneer Lodge Serenity Garden into a dazzling display of Christmas lights symbolizes hope, love, and togetherness during the holiday season. It serves as a reminder of the importance of spreading kindness and joy, especially to those facing difficult circumstances.
