Provincial Engagement Coordinator

About the Organization

At Ronald McDonald House British Columbia and Yukon, we envision a province where families stay close to their sick children. Today, 2 out of 3 Canadians live in a city or town without a children's hospital. Our Mission is to give sick children the healing power of being together with family.

As a champion of family-centered care, we enable access to children's hospitals by providing families with sick children accommodation, meals, and wellness programs that support their emotional and physical well-being. 

Since opening our first 13-bedroom House in Vancouver in 1983, Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon has continued to grow to meet the rising need for support. In 2014, we opened the Heather House, a 73-bedroom House on the grounds of BC Children's Hospital, along with a Ronald McDonald House Family Room inside Surrey Memorial Hospital. In 2025, we expanded once again, opening new Family Rooms at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, and the University Hospital of Northern BC in Prince George, bringing comfort, care, and a place to rest to families throughout the province.

With the demand for services increasing, we are planning for even greater impact through expansion with a second House. The new Willow House is intentionally designed for comfort, connection, and wellness, and will offer families more space, more support and more ways to stay together during the toughest times. We aim to double our capacity and impact across BC and Yukon over the next five years, ensuring even more families can stay close when it matters most.

Our team is the backbone of this mission; serving families, supporting volunteers and donors, and helping spread awareness every single day.
