A look inside the 2024 Hospice Dream Home

The Dream Home doors are open.

The Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society’s annual lottery home has been unveiled and is now open for the public to tour.

At over 3,400 square feet, the Creekside home has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, valued at $940,000.

“It is absolutely beautiful,” Donna Flood, the Executive Director of the Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society, told My PG Now. “It has a million hidden features, when you come in you will be surprised.”

The home also has a front and back deck and a large backyard that backs onto a green space that will not be developed into more homes.

Anyone who buys a Dream Home lottery ticket will not just be entered for the grand prize of the home, numerous early bird prizes can be won.

“We have two prizes that are 100 of our 50/50 tickets, so 100 chances at winning up to $250,000,” Flood said. “We have some beautiful outdoor furniture and a barbecue, and we have a beautiful two carat diamond ring.”

Every year, the lottery is Hospice’s biggest fundraiser. Organizers hope this year will be the 10th straight time tickets for the home sell out.

“It helps support the Rotary Hospice House that supports 10 people, it also now supports Home Hospice, which allows people to die in their homes,” she explained. “We also have community programs for wellness, grief support… all of these programs that are not funded.

“We are only partially funded by Northern Health, that supports a bit of the work we do at the Hospice House but none of our other programs. Because we want to ensure there is no barrier to any of the care we do, we rely on the community to help fund us,” Flood added.

Tickets for the home, and the separate 50/50 tickets, are available at the home, at Canadian Tire, Costless Liquor, and online.

“We have managed to sell out every year, we want to make sure this is another sellout,” Flood said. “Come down, see the house, help support Hospice.”
