About the Organization

At Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon, we envision a province where families stay close to their sick children. 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.

In 1983, the first Ronald McDonald House in BC opened in Vancouver with a 13-bedroom House. Over the years, demand led to a new building; in 2014, a 73-bedroom House was unveiled on the grounds of BC Children’s Hospital along with a new 2,000 sq. ft. RMH Family Room in Surrey Memorial Hospital. As the second-largest House in Canada and one of the largest in the world, RMH BC will continue to grow to meet the needs of families across BC and Yukon.

Our team is the backbone of our organization—serving our families, supporting volunteers and donors, and spreading awareness every day.
