Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
Terry O'Neill reported for the BC Catholic on August 6, 2025 that the Delta Hospice Society, that has existed in Delta BC, for more than 30 years, is now be seeking to purchase property in Alberta in order to establish a euthanasia-free hospice.
O'Neill interviewed Angelina Ireland who is the executive director of the Delta Hospice Society who stated:
“We are actively looking for a property, and we have the money — hundreds of thousands of dollars — to buy,” Ireland said in an email interview. “It is a desperate situation in this country, and the Delta Hospice Society has been stalled, stonewalled, abused, and vilified long enough.”
A B.C. location remains the society’s first choice, but Ireland has been unable to get assurances from B.C.’s NDP government that it would not force the society to allow euthanasia in the proposed hospice.
The British Columbia Ministry of Health defunded The Delta Hospice Society and expropriated their hospice building in 2021 because the Delta Hospice Society refused to provide euthanasia (MAiD) on their premises.
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition supports the goal of the Delta Hospice Society to establish and operate euthanasia-free hospices.
