Jocelyn House Hospice is a home where our family includes terminally ill residents in the final stages of life. Our belief is that we can add life to those final days and we do so for each and every individual we care for, as well as their cherished families and loved ones.
When you step inside Jocelyn House Hospice, nestled within the trees and the solitude of the riverbed, you’re greeted by smiling faces and the smell of a home-cooked meal. We believe in the work we do and the impact it makes in the lives of those we care for and we invite you to become part of our family of support.
Not because people die here, because they live here .

3rd Annual Sunday Supper on March 25, 2012
On Sunday, March 25, 2012, the 3rd Annual Sunday Supper in support of Jocelyn House Hospice was presented by Johnston Group. The dinner was held at Confusion Corner Bar & Grill (500 Corydon Avenue) and featured a 5 piece jazz combo, a delicious meal, a 1 in 100 draw and some fun auctions.
The evening was emceed by Beau from FAB 94.3 and was highlighted by two speakers – Richard Olson, whose daughter Julia was Jocelyn Hutton’s best friend, and William Hutton, Jocelyn’s father. With over 120 people in attendance, the evening was a spirited affair. After Bob Cunningham finished the live auction with the Backyard Barbeque from Confusion Corner Bar and Grill, our guests left with a package of green jelly beans – stayed tuned for more information on their significance!
A big thank you to all of our guests and our sponsors, including Johnston Group, Manitoba Hydro, MLCC, MGI Financial and Payworks. Your support is helping to Add Life to Final Days for individuals with terminal illnesses.
“Nothing” really is Something
Over the past many years, a group of friends and business associates got together once or twice a summer for a game of golf and a dinner. Eventually, the outing grew into a bit of a friendly competition, but because it wasn’t really “about anything”, and there was no prize for the winner, it became known as The Nothing Cup.
After a few years of the Nothing Cup truly being about Nothing, the friends thought it would be good to add a fund raising component to their golf and dinner. Over the past 3 years, this group of guys has raised over $13,000 for local charities, including over $10,000 for Jocelyn House Hospice.
For helping us in our mission to add life to final days, our thanks go out to John Heimbecker, Michael Evans and Karl Loepp, who organize the event each year, as well as all the generous Nothing Cup participants! These generous individuals prove each year that “Nothing” can really be Something!

Jocelyn House Hospice selected to participate in Dufresne $1 Million Charity Challenge
Dufresne is marking its 25th Anniversary by raising $1 Million for charity. The program was launched in June 2011 with a plan to donate $500,000 to up to 50 charities. The charities would then raise funds to match the Dufresne donation, turning the initial $500,000 into $1 Million.
Over 250 charities applied for funding and, due to the quality of the applicants, Dufresne stretched their initial rules and funded 51 charities! Jocelyn House Hospice is proud to be one of those 51 charities and thanks Mark Dufresne, CEO of The Dufresne Group, and the rest of the Dufresne family for helping Jocelyn House Hospice in achieving our mission – adding life to final days!
Over the next three months, Jocelyn House Hospice needs to raise $10,000 to match the donation from Dufresne. If you wish to make a donation towards this goal, please click here.
