About the Organization

At Ronald McDonald House Charities British Columbia and Yukon (RMH BC) 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 childrens 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 childrens hospitals by providing families with accommodation meals and wellness programs that support their emotional and physical well-being during one of lifes most difficult times.

Since opening our first 13-bedroom House in Vancouver in 1983 RMH BC has continued to grow to meet the rising need for 2014 we opened a new 73-bedroom House on the grounds of BC Childrens Hospital along with a 2000 sq. ft. Ronald McDonald Family Room inside Surrey Memorial 2025 we expanded once again opening a new Family Room at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops bringing comfort care and a place to rest to families in the BC Interior.

As the second-largest Ronald McDonald House in Canada and one of the largest in the world RMH BC is planning for even greater impact. With exciting expansion plans underway we aim to double our capacity and impact across BC and the 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.
