Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon

In 1983, Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon opened its doors in Shaughnessy. The original 13-bedroom house provided support for sick kids and families needing to travel long distances to receive specialized care only found in Vancouver. Over the years, the demand for this essential service quickly grew beyond what this house could offer, so construction of a new building was soon underway.

Today, we have a 73-bedroom house with even more services available for families, conveniently located near BC Children’s Hospital. RMH BC also operates a Family Room in Surrey Memorial Hospital.

RMH BC is a place filled with hope and love, built on the belief that keeping the family together is an essential part of healing children with serious illnesses.

The House sits on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples; Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
